However, a Deist is still not a Christian. Period.
James you are having to ignore what little I said. Do you not wonder why Franklin worshipped at the CHRIST CHURCH... and why he spent the money to build a building for a CHRISTIAN preacher to come and preach CHRIST??
So are you implying atheists, agnostics, and Buddhists have no "morality, humility, goodness"?
Again James, look at what I said.. "" recognized where morality, humility, goodness, etc etc comes from, and it was not in self but from God.
Actually, it was more so that other Christians did not force their beliefs on them
Actually here is the quote I use:
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here. Patrick Henry.
Unless you are a Christian(follower of Christ), the meaning of his words may not be so evident. |
