| Jefferson's Bible |
Cut and paste. Long before Microsoft, man was fashioning his
own version of morals without the miracles, good without God. When Thomas
Jefferson didn’t agree with biblical “interpreters,” (Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John among them) he simply cut their words out and then painstakingly pasted
together the parts he agreed with. Voilà! A Bible
he could believe in.
Seems the “cut” part is still a popular method of promoting
a philosophy or worldview today. A school district in Florida is under scrutiny
for having students recite Islamic
prayers and use textbooks that cover Islam in depth but that have “mistakenly”
left out the pages on Christianity and Judaism. This district is not alone.
All over the country Islam is being introduced in public schools as if it were
the latest fashionable thing for the enlightened to learn.
