kristen grund

Amerika anses vara det enda land i världen som är grundat på kristen tro.
Men stämmer det?
När jag läser artikeln i Huffington post om Thomas Jeffersons hemliga bibel, framstår det mer som att Amerika är grundat på anti-kristna grunder.
Jefferson var influerad av upplysningsfilosofin och ansåg att allt som inte kunde förstås med det mänskliga sinnet-mänskligt resonemang skulle förkastas.
Och Jesu jungfrufödsel, jesu uppståndelse och mirakler kan inte förstås med mänskligt resonemang.

"Today, historians try to piece together Jefferson’s religious beliefs from what little he wrote about it. Some of the best evidence lies in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, in the small volume that is often called “Jefferson’s Bible.”"
Thomas Jeffersons hemliga bibel

"He selected from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in order to compose a single biographical account of Jesus’s life. He included Jesus’s moral teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the many parables recounted in the Gospels. At the same time, Jefferson left parts of the Gospels out of his compilation. Influenced by the Enlightenment, he omitted anything that seemed to him contrary to “Reason,” which included anything miraculous (as the loaves and the fishes) or anything that suggested Jesus himself was divine (the Annunciation and the Resurrection). Jefferson believed that those parts of the New Testament represented misunderstandings or mistakes made by Jesus’s disciples, or inaccuracies added later by authorities of the Christian church."
