Atheist group takes down billboard with inaccurate anti-christian Jefferson quote
An Orange County group of skeptics, “with a heavy atheist ‘bent,’” have become tongue-tied in their campaign for secularism. California-based Backyard Skeptics head Bruce Gleason used $4,000 in anonymous donations to put up billboards with an anti-Christian Thomas Jefferson quote he had discovered.
Gleason, however, is now apologizing to the secular community after news broke that The Jefferson Library Collection at Monticello could not find any such quote from the third U.S. president in their records. Gleason now insists that he may have misquoted Jefferson, but did not misrepresent his ideas, and put the billboard up in”good faith.” His words, not ours. ABC News on the controversy:...
"The billboard harshly read “I do not find in Christianity one redeeming feature. It is founded on fables and mythology,” which Gleason has since tracked back to 1906 from an unknown author"
The part quote, "I do not find" - is of course true of the reprobates on their way to hell. The reason they cannot find, is because they cannot see.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
Poor sad and destined for eternal pain and suffering.
If Jefferson allegedly didn't find one redeeming feature in Christianity he wouldn't have himself edited a version of the Bible albeit sans the supernatural.
