I am a rational theist like our first four presidents. Jefferson cut the Bible up and threw out the hell fire and brimstone, Virgin Birth and rising from the dead, sin Satan and salvation stuff.
Our Word of God is the Creation itself. Your Bible and Jesus are only tiny pieces of the vast universe. They didnāt terrify Washington Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine or
Ethan Allen (January 21, 1738 [
O.S.January 10, 1737]
[a] ā February 12, 1789) was an American farmer, businessman, land speculator, philosopher, writer, lay theologian,
American Revolutionary War patriot, and politician. He is best known as one of the founders of
Vermont and for the
capture of Fort Ticonderogaearly in the Revolutionary War.
Not a one of those presidents, patriots and founders were terrified of the King as a Representative of Your Biblical God or terrified of the Church of England or the Church of Rome or any other Medieval Church in Europe.
Why should I be terrified of the Bible it had nothing to do with anything that matters in real life for rational people.
Whatās Bad is irrational believers of irrational religion using the government to impose their beliefs and superstitions on everybody else. That is wrong and only terrifying if left unchecked,
