Response to The Founding Fathers ?

Wow. Joel, you only meant to make us look? Success!! However, T. Jefferson was a Deist not an atheist.God created everything and left would be the best short take on that. Also, regarding slave holding,aren't we all slaves to the illustrious government right now? If not slaves, at least serfs? If you read the personal journals of T. Jefferson you will see that the thinking of the day was that anyone that wasn't white was essentially inferior and somehow less human. A whole load of crap to put it mildly, but that was the consensus, and he agonized over that quite a bit in his writings...... Obviously, none of the founding fathers were gods, but they certainly had more thought and reason going into their daily lives than we in our advanced state have in ours! And they were willing to die for their beliefs. Are we? I see so many paralells between then and now that I find it frightening. All of these men criminals...Pretty much every day I break some law. Don't put on my seat belt, go a tic above the speed limit, don't bother to check if I need a permit to build a shed, have a bad thought....Frankly, there are too many laws and it's time that we stand up against this craziness and lack of personal responsibility for our actions. I could go on forever about the attrocities committed against the American Indians, none of it was excusable. But I guess that would lead to another forum, huh?
