Tommy Jefferson And That Bible

I thought it was kinda funny that the author of this piece says sumthin' like Who the heck knows about the Jefferson Bible anyways....Team Atheist of course. If you're new to the convo-n-stuff here's the nutshell...Tommy Jefferson, dude that was all influential in writing THAT constitution that Team Secular keeps talking about, *rewrote* the bible by taking out all the stupidstition like the no sex birth, angels, and coming back from the dead like a flesh and brain eating zombie.

You know I hadta Google "brain eating zombie..." and congratulations, miss.

President Jefferson was called an infidel during the 1800 race and you can imagine the uproar a book like that would cause back in the day (hell, imagine if that was done now. Can you say death threat, assassination). It wasn't until hella years after Tommy's death that the book was found and published. I guess he wanted to stay alive as long as possible, that is why he told very few people about it (smart on his part.).

So what's left. All the good stuff I guess. Look man, I'm not one of those atheist that claim there is nothing good in the bible. I'm one of those atheist that says we have only been looking at the good stuff in the bible for 2,000 years and because The New Atheists are here, we NOW halfta pay attention to all the stupidhead stuffs in the bible: superstition, genocide, killings in general, intolerance, sexism and stupidhead, again. The free pass has expired. That is what I'm sayin'.

Jefferson believed that the moral teachings of JC was okilie-dokilie. Unfortunately for Tommy, if he ran for president today he would have no chance. In a way it is a total shame that he didn't publish his bible back in the day. I wonder how much further along our great country and the world would be if a non-superstitious Christianity evolved instead of the ghost, angels and demons version that is dividing this country.

“In extracting the pure principles which he taught,” Jefferson wrote in 1813, “we should have to strip off the artificial vestments in which they have been muffled by priests, who have travestied them into various forms. ... There will be found remaining the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man.”
