A Deist does not believe that God is involved in the lives of His created. For Jefferson to acknowledge the "protection and blessing of the common father and creator of man", proves by his own words that historians cannot claim him to have been a Deist.

You brought out an atheist author to try and prove your point. Therefore, the larger point is that she may have had some historical points, Fudge may have some historical points, but no one is totally correct on everything they claim.

We look to the Word, and as Esaias has posted in another thread - "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." (1 Cor 1:10)

Hence, we had a division, a split, it's over and everyone needs to move on.

I concur with Ferd, you can have this thread and discussion...

You are delusional. Jefferson's own words establish his position. Read the words of Abigail Adams when she heard he would be President. She all but referred to him as an atheist. This was not an uncommon sentiment among religious people at that time. Just because you plug your ears and shout, "LALALALALALA" doesn't mean it isn't true.
