[quote=Anonymous][quote]Jefferson kept the rest of the Bible after removing the miracles and maybe a few other things, I forget the details. If he thought none of it was relevant to him, he wouldn’t have kept any of it. And you’d know about it and you’d be using that fact here, if you could.

That's a gross oversimplification.  Here is the last line in the book: [i]"Now, in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus. And rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed."
[/i]

No resurrection.  That's what you call "removing the miracles and maybe a few other things"?  The fundamental tenet of Christianity?

[quote]You went off track with the usual tired argument about religious values (including but not limited to Christianity) being no different from secular values. That’s the usual oversimplification because most religions have so many other components and different ways of approaching godliness. “Love your enemy” goes beyond the golden rule, for example. But there’s no way I’m interested in another derailment where I need to argue against trite and oversimplified points, so I’ll leave it there. [/quote]

Of course they are shared values.  That is the point.  100% the point.  In addition, most of the important ones existed long before Christ and are in the Greek readings that the educated members of our founding fathers read.[/quote]
