Hey guys! We were in Washington DC the past few days and it was incredibly amazing and incredibly sad. It was amazing to see the monuments and the memorials and there direct references to God. It was sad because even though the direct references to God were so plainly seen people still refer to our founding fathers as “deists”. Thomas Jefferson was the most liberal and unorthodox of all the Founding Fathers, besides Benjamin Franklin, and at the Jefferson Memorial the Jefferson quote reads;
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever. Commerce between master and slave is despotism. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Establish a law for educating the common people. This it is the business of the state and on a general plan."
That’s a Christian and there’s no doubt about it.
