Thomas Jefferson is my hero

I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature... Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make half the world fools and half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the world.

didnt realise that politics and religion came hand-in-hand, only after i read and article on the web on Constantine's ruling. using religion to drive politics. interestingly enough, post 9/11 things (or people) still havent changed since Constantine. i mean, look at hitler.

thomas jefferson does have a point. but if he had made that announcement here, he'd be assasinated in a second. heh
