Santa,

I'm not going to get dragged into this debate here, though I may involve myself in other religious debates in the future on this forum. I have found that fundamentalists who hold the Bible to be absolute truth won't listen to any arguments that assert otherwise no matter how logically sound. But I do have a question for you... I noticed your inclusion of a quote by Thomas Jefferson in your signature; are you aware of his deistic beliefs, of the fact that he wrote his own version of the Bible due to his belief that much of the supernatural occurrences in the Bible were illogical and such? What do you think of his views and why would someone so deeply tied to a fundamentalist view of Christianity quote someone like Jefferson who was so deeply opposed to fundamentalism?
