I saw the following quote on a church sign today:
The Bible is the foundation of liberty.
Not bad, assuming you’re a Christian.
Only one problem – the quote was attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
You know, our third president.
Now, I believe Jefferson was one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history, and there are many good quotes attributed to him; but considering he was a deist and even removed portions of the Bible with which he did not agree, how am I supposed to take the above quote seriously?
Oh, wait, that type of thinking screws up the whole God and country sermon they were planning, doesn’t it?
Seriously – if that’s the direction you’re wanting to go, there’s better quotes to use.
