    I wish more people knew about the Jefferson Bible. It’s a piece of American history that should not be overlooked when talking about religion in the US. The bible was compiled by Thomas Jefferson that extracts the text of Jesus and leaves out the nonsensical fantasy. It’s basically 45 pages of good stuff and sensible teachings.

    It’s way better than the po-dunk southern degenerate Catholicism some of my wacko family members follow. You know the kind.

    Anyway, great read if you like morals and ethics and treating other well.

      You could get a Red Letter Bible and get the same result. For a while I would give them as Christmas presents to religious people I knew.

      A. I enjoyed the look of confused when they first leaf thru it and notice how the supposed main guy of the entire book says nearly nothing.

      B. Best way to make atheists is to teach people the Bible. Or in this case giving them better study tools.
