No miracles. Jesus – gulp – dies at the end. (And you can play it on a turntable?)

Outrageous.

It's another example of what I've been saying for years. The "Founders" did not found a Christian nation that accords in any way with what that would mean to people, today.

They were men of the Enlightenment. Deism accepted the possibility of a creator but it rejected the notion of a personal god concerned with human life, never mind one's individual affairs.

What they founded was a constitutional republic. Citizens' religious beliefs if any were thier own concerns, not the republic's.

That’s okay. I like visiting new places. Lois would probably move it for you.

Likely.

This is Gary's brain. This is Gary's brain on drugs.
