Don’t take my word for it, read Joseph Ellis’ book on Mr. Washington. There are other books as well, but Ellis is the man when it comes to our Founders. Check out his book “Founding Brothers.” I must caution you though, reading the comprehensive, meticulously researched impartially reported and documented accounts in these books about our Founders will not make it any easier for you in your efforts to tie them into your religious agenda. In fact, quite the opposite is true.
All of this great review and judgment of a literary work written by a man by a person who stands for nothing. I’m not motivated to believe or trust anything you say. Thanks for the permission, I wont take your word for it.
You sure do like to quickly judge those who don’t agree with you. Are you this shallow with fellow Christians who happen to have different beliefs than yours? What do you think about Catholics?
Like I said, don’t taek my word for it, reaad the definitive book on GW. I suspect you lack the motivation or perhpas even curiousity to confront the real facts about our county’s Father and his religious beliefs. They just might not match up with yours, same for our “Founding Brothers.” And that would throw a large monkey wrench into your neat and tidy asscertation our Founders were devout practicing Christains who belive in worshipping God in the exact same manner as you. As if anyone outside of fundamentalism actually believes that’s true anyway. Mainstream Christian America certainly does not.
Really now, Inde.
Really Ed. GW was not a devout Christian. It’s not big deal. What’s important is his work, and his role in creating our country. His religious beliefs, or lack thereof are irrellevant.
and you are, of course, the source of irrelevance.
Thankyou. I do not consider that an insult, although Im sure you intended it as such.
The Father of Our Country had little use for organized religion. He rarely mentioned a diety in public, and more often than not used ambiquous terms like “Creator” or “Architect,” and he went to church primarily to appease the public. As he lay dying his last act was not to summon clergy, but to take his own pulse, reflecting the true intellectual and scientific approach to the world he was known for.
We are so lucky to have you, the ultimate authority on what George Washington was thinking. Get over yourself. Self-important people bore me…………and I’m yawning.
GW and TJ were perhaps the two most influential of our Founders, and neither were devout Christians. There are many others. But like I said, it’s really irrellevant. Their work stands alone.
Who said they were Christians?
Bob Ellis for one. It’s a fairly standard tactic used by fudamentalists, that because our Founders were “devout Christians” we should allow Christianity into our government. Unfortunately for Ellis and others, historical facts and our Constitution render the argument useless.
