You will find this to be true in any walk of life. Whether you are discussing politics,religion, or selling plastic widgets at the 5 and dime. There will always be someone that says yes it is ,or ,no it's not concerning the same subject.There are equally as many pro mason websites as there are anti mason....obviously you chose the anti one. Does not surprise me
I run most of what I have learned in life through a biblical filter. because I believe it to be absolute truth that doesn't change. and the bible covers a great multiple of sciences
Some peoples base lines are Socrates ,Obama, this religion ,that religion,, you name it people come at things from different perspectives in life. And that helps formulate their opinions.
If things don't contradict what I have learned in life then I consider them plausible. May be it is or may be it isn't . That sort of thing.
It interesting to study how the systems of the world operate from a biblical point of view and be able to see things develop in my day and time. I'm not saying the Illuminati is. I'm saying may be it is and may be it isn't
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Pr 15:15
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
Pr 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones
Ken, I think you meant "which" God. Unless you are into a whole 'nother thing here. In "which" case I think you are talkin' bout "wiccans" not wickens! Now, having been the spelling marm for a minute, just think how many things may have gone awry in the Bible due to all the translations. It is a great book. But I never will take it literally, because we do not know what it says.....literally.
As far as TJ goes, he was just a brilliant man with an eye to the big chance. All he had to do was steal the big available land mass from the indians, and bring his slaves with him to tame it. Ta Da! Can you imagine one of our current politicians having the forethought, wit, planning ability and people skills necessary to launch the Lewis and Clark expedition?

Even if one was smart enough to do that, they would never get by all of the environmental impact studies required of such an imposition on the environment.

More correctly, they believed in a god of nature but not the Christian God nor that Jesus was a god or son of a god.
Most of the early colonist were of one Christian sect or another. Deist were generally found among the men of higher education and were student/children of The Enlightenment. Men such as; Jefferson, Paine, Adams and to a lesser extent Washington. Washington vasilated between Deism and Christianity.
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
