| I never knew this, though most of you probably did, but Thomas Jefferson - in an attempt to correct what he thought was wrong with Christianity - rewrote the bible.
Really it was just a cut-and-paste edit. "Thomas Jefferson did not believe in Jesus' divinity, the Trinity, the resurrection, miracles, or any other supernatural aspect described in the Bible (from WIKI)."
The "Jefferson Bible"
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth

Just thought I'd share.

| I knew about it. I've been thinking about making a Schizophretard Bible. I want to go through it cherry picking out the ideas I believe to be reasonable, throw out the ideas that are obviously false, and see what I get. My God must be in there somewhere!

| Uriah,
I think I found your God!
Song of Solomon Chapter 2 Verse 3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Your God makes me horny!
