Excellent “Speaking of Faith” this week, about the real religious beliefs of the Founders. HINT: Not Christianity, at least not as we know it today. I was on the verge of breaking up with the podcast, but we’re back together now.
The main thesis is that we cannot depend on the Founders for support uncritically. These men lived more than 200 years ago. We must continue the arguments that they began, using our intellect to interpret their words. The same idea applies to the Bible, and its 2000 year old wisdom. The mind, Jefferson said, is the only oracle God gave us. How sad that so many of us refuse to use it.
Now watching: 2008 Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony
