Comments on: Obama Faces A New Preacher Problem

As Bierce put it (to wit) "theology is the attempt to explain the unknowable in terms not worth knowing".

It is indeed unfortunate that the US can''t rid itself of superstition, or at least herd the religious crackpots into cattle cars and send them off to Mississippi or Alabama.

George Washington

Much of the myth of Washington''''s alleged Christianity came from Mason Weems influential book, "Life of Washington." The story of the cherry tree comes from this book and it has no historical basis.

Weems, a Christian minister portrayed Washington as a devout Christian, yet Washington''''s Own Diaries show that he (Rarely Attended Church).

Washington revealed almost nothing to indicate his Spiritual Frame of Mind, hardly a mark of a devout Christian.

In his thousands of letters, (The Name of Jesus Christ never appears).

He rarely spoke about his Religion, but his Freemasonry experience points to a belief in DEISM.

Washingtons initiation occurred at the (Fredericksburg Lodge on 4 November 1752), later becoming a Master Mason in 1799, and Remained a Freemason Until He Died.

To the United Baptist Churches in Virginia in May, 1789, Washington said that...

''Every Man "ought to be Protected In Worshipping The Deity according to the Dictates of His Own Conscience`

After Washington''s Death, Dr. Abercrombie, a friend of his, replied to a Dr. Wilson, who had Interrogated him about Washington''s Religion Replied,

"Sir, Washington was a Deist."

Thomas Jefferson
Even most Christians do not consider Jefferson a Christian.

In many of his letters, he Denounced the Superstitions of Christianity.

He did not believe in Spiritual Souls, Angels or Godly Miracles.

Although Jefferson did admire the Morality of Jesus, Jefferson did not Think Him DIVINE, Nor did he Believe in the Trinity or the Miracles of Jesus.

In a letter to Peter Carr, 10 August 1787, he wrote, "Question With Boldness even the Existence of a God."

Jefferson believed in Materialism, Reason, and Science.

He never admitted to any Religion but his own.

In a letter to Ezra Stiles Ely, 25 June 1819, he wrote, "You say you are a Calvinist. I am NOT. I am of a Sect by Myself, as far as I know."


John Adams

John Adams, a Unitarian, Flatly Denied the Doctrine of Eternal Damnation. In a letter to Thomas Jefferson, he wrote:

"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved -- The Cross. Consider what Calamities that Engine of Grief has Produced!"

In his letter to Samuel Miller, 8 July 1820, Adams admitted his Unbelief of Protestant Calvinism: "I must acknowledge that I Cannot Class Myself Under that Denomination."

Benjamin Franklin

In an essay on "Toleration," Franklin wrote:

"If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find FEW that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution.

The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practiced it on one another.

The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Romish church, but practiced it upon the Puritans. These found it wrong in the Bishops, but fell into the same practice themselves both here [England] and in New England."

Dr. Priestley, an intimate friend of Franklin, wrote of him:


"It is much to be Lamented that a Man of Franklin''''s General Good Character and Great Influence should have been an UNBELIEVER in CHRISTIANITY, and also have done as much as he did to make OTHERS UNBELIEVERS" (Priestley''s Autobiography)

Benjamin Franklin

Although Franklin received religious training, his Nature Forced him to Rebel Against the Irrational Tenets of His Parents Christianity.

His Autobiography revels his skepticism, "My Parents had given me betimes Religions Impressions & I received from my Infancy a Pious Education in the Principles of Calvinism.

But scarcely was I arrived at 15 years of age, when, after having doubted in turn of Different Tenets, according as I found them Combated in the different books that I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself.

". . . Some books against Deism fell into my hands. . .

It happened that they had an effect on me, quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the Deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me MUCH STRONGER than the Refutations; in short,

I soon became a through Deist."

In an essay on "Toleration," Franklin wrote:

Thomas Paine

This Freethinker and Author of Several books, influenced more early Americans than any other writer.

Although he held Deist beliefs, he wrote in his famous The Age of Reason:

"I do not believe in the Creed Professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of.

My Own mind is my Church. "

"Of all the systems of Religion that ever were invented, there is no more Derogatory to the Almighty, more Unedifiying to man, more Repugnant to reason, and more Contradictory to itself than this thing called (Christianity). "

What does the ISM have to do with Obama.... Read on..

Now, it has become the ISM%u2019s time to deconstruct religious dogma of Israel belonging to the Jews as is preached in US churches and to increase the number of black churches in America that are working in %u201Csolidarity%u201D with this program. Jeremiah Wright%u2019s church is one of them. Even though the national synod of the United Church for Christ rescinded a boycott and divestment plan against Israel, a wing of the UCC church keeps trying to get it reinstated. That wing includes Reverend Wright%u2019s Trinity UCC Church in Chicago. Few people know also, that there are many Muslim members of Reverend Wright%u2019s %u201CChristian%u201D church, a close ally of Sabeel.

Led by a Palestinian Christian pastor named Naim Ateek, Sabeel%u2019s purpose is as part of the ISM to especially convince churches in America that the diminishing Christian population in the West Bank, particularly Bethlehem, is not due to persecution by the Muslim majority in the Palestinian Authority against Christians caused Christian flight, but because of Israel%u2019s Jews and %u201Cthe occupation.%u201D
