You are so far out in left field I think you have difficulty seeing the game honestly.

Here, from a favorite reference of yours is a brief description of the Thimas Jefferson Bible, otherwise known as 'The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth' Thomas Jefferson was not a deist by your strange definition.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the divinty of Jesus either. There are other christians also. That does not make them deists either. a bit offbeat , but far from deists.

You interpret things very selectively RAZD. However, those interpretations are yours only, personal interpretations. You only read 'God' in the Declaration of Independence one time, but skip right by every other reference to him as Creator, as Supreme Judge of the world, as Divine Providence.

You pick and choose your truths RAZD, and you do not base them on facts. I am not interested in any lengthy discussions with you.

If you need to know the history of the catholic church and why it as is relevant to the people that first settled America and wrote the Declaration of Independence and the constitution, study it yourself.

Let the irony kill you then. I would hardly be surprised to find out that you are less a product of your upbringing than the Puritans were of theirs.

You'll notice I have not defended Puritan theocracy. But if your'e smart, just a little , you'll notice you keep accusing me of that and similar.

Concerning 'extremist militant terrorist christian groups' such as David Koresh, I cannot defend David Koresh. No one can. No one does, even those who knew him have difficulty with it. I was not however, aware that he was an ' extremist militant terrorist christian group' .

However, It's interesting you pose the question in such a way as to make it appear that the killing of 70 or so men women and children by the US government is somehow justified. Maybe you should recalculate your position a bit. You look more than just a tad like a Puritan witch burner. Funny, so does the US government. Why don't you ask Hillary Clinton about it? I'm sure she'd love to discuss it during her election campaign.
