Bible Note: "Fate, Predestination, and Deism": It was said: "...since he (Jefferson) believed that God created the universe and left it to run on its own..." Actually, Jefferson would not have been so specific as to say "God", but more like "Something" did the creating. And probably would not have gone too much further. Certainly not a "revealed religionist". But along with Jefferson, the other Founding Fathers such as Thomas Paine, George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, James Madison, Ethan Allen were not exactly Christians but more in line with deism or the unitarian view. I wonder why? Some sterling minds, there, wouldn't you say? And I have no problems with the statement: "...that nonsense can never be explained." After reading the posts here, the myriad questions and ideas, I am convinced he was on to something. At a minimum, a "revealed religion" should provide an ANSWER instead of questions, each of which seem to have unlimited answers, and most often, those answers simply spawning more and more questions, with more and more answers, and on it goes, and goes, and goes.... Oh well, time to surf! One thing for certain: "gobbledegook" is always a waste....(no mas for me) Mandy :) |
