Ärende: Religion of Presiden
============================
Hello Roy,

>LL>Every president in the history of the United States is or has been
>LL>a Christian.
[..]
>LL>Religious affiliation of U.S. Presidents -
>LL>http://www.adherents.com/adh_presidents.html

RW>Anybody can make up a list and make the claim. However, Jefferson
RW>himself wrote that he was a Diest and a Unitarian.

The above cite accurately lists the religious affiliation of all
U.S. Presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama.

RW>Anybody can make up a list and make false claims. One must revert to the
RW>'horses mouth' to know the facts.

Martha Washington was an avid church goer.  George Washington was not.
Since George wanted to remain married to Martha, he did as he was told -
"Be an Episcopalian.  Or else!"  See there?  Men are real pussies...

>LL>James Madison was Episcopalian.
>RW>Wrong!
>LL>See above url.
RW>Anybody can make up a list and make false claims.

Especially on wikipedia.  The cite I noted is not wikipedia.

>LL>Unitarian is Christian.
>LL>See above url.
RW>Wrong!

Google "Christian denominations".  Unitarian is on the list.

RW>Unitarianism as a theology is the belief in the single personality of God,
RW>in contrast to the doctrine of the Trinity (three persons in one God). [

Christians come in all different kinds of shapes and sizes.
Unitarians are but one group of many.  A very small group, but
a group of Christians nonetheless.

>LL>All Christians believe in one God, including Unitarians.
>LL>See above url.

RW>Wrong!
RW>In Christian prayer, "In the name of the father, the son and the holy
RW>spirit." refers to three Gods. Else, why would you include them in your
RW>prayers if they're not gods?

"We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and
earth..." - Christians' main article of faith

>LL>Christianity is a religion.
>RW>It's a cult, just like Judaism.
>LL>Christianity is a religion. So is Judaism.  As well as Islam.

RW>Most people who follow any of the above mentioned "revealed" religions
RW>would be shocked to learn that the father of all of the Big Three Revealed
RW>Religions pimped his wife! According to the Bible, this is true!

Was that before he chopped off his dick, or after?

RW>In Genesis 12:10-16 the Patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam,
RW>Abram, aka Abraham, pimped his wife/half sister to the Egyptian Pharaoh
RW>for security and profit!

What else was a guy without a dick gonna do?  Become a transvestite?

RW>Is the above the action of a cultist or what?

More like the actions of a crazy old man.

>LL>George Washington was Episcopalian.
RW>Wrong!

I already explained to you about Martha and George.

>LL>He was not an avid church-goer, but that is irrelevant.
RW>It's very relevant, since a christian should be a meeting-house attendee.

Not all Christians go to church on Sunday.  Or even go to church at all.

>LL>His wife enjoyed going to church.
RW>My wife goes to church too. That doesn't make me a christian.

Goerge complied with Martha's wishes, as that was the only way
he would be able to get any nookie.  Unnerstan'?

>LL>George preferred doing other things, such as going to war and
>LL>building a new nation.
RW>He was more concerned with his false teeth.

George was wealthy and owned several nice sets of false teeth.

>LL>See above url.
RW>Anybody can make up a list and make false claims.

Especially on wikipedia.

>LL>John Adams was a philosopher, not a deist, but was always a
>LL>Unitarian.
>RW>Unitarian<>Diest
>LL>Christian and philosopher.
RW>Wrong!

Not quite.  Although there are similarities.

RW>God gave man reason, no need for a religion.

Man is both a rational and irrational being.  If God gave man
reason, man would be only rational.  But since that is not the
case, it must be the Devil who gave man reason.  See Genesis,
where the serpent gives Eve reason to eat the apple.  And then
Eve gives Adam reason to eat the apple.  So yes.  It is true.
The Devil made me do it!

>LL>It is a philsophy, the idea being that God created all things and
>LL>then took a back seat and let things unfold in a natural way, without
>LL>getting involved in human affairs or anything else.
RW>"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior
RW>spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive
RW>with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the
RW>presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the
RW>incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God." - Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was Jewish.
