Was Washinton just a Religious Nut-case?

Quotes From the Father of Our Country, was he a religious Nut-Case?
There are no Atheists in fox-holes.
Reply:Perhaps he was a religious nut case, most scholars would find otherwise, but what would that prove even if he were. A lot of Christian fundamentalists would like to re-write history to make their case that the U.S. should be a Christian nation, rather than a secular one as it is today. Is that your intent? Since Washington never wrote about being a Christian, and never took communion in the church that he attended, he was certainly not outspoken about his religious beliefs. Also, for at least a portion of his life he was a Deist like Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson said, "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." I could not agree more.





Indaindude, your lies get more amusing everyday!





P. S. Bite me. I'll stop using quotes when you stop using quotes. Just think of old Thomas Jefferson next time you get handed a nickle. xD





PPS. The subject is Washington and his spirituality, since like Jefferson, Washington was a Diest and, like Jefferson, he is one of the "Founding Fathers" it is entirely relavant to bring this up.
Reply:When you consider the fact that we had just left the oppression of a state mandated Church it is understandable why he felt that way.
