From 1904 until 1950, facsimile copies of “THE JEFFERSON BIBLE: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth Extracted Textually from the Gospels in Greek, Latin, French and English” were distributed to every newly elected member of the Senate on the very day they swore their oath of office.

People ask me all the time why I went to occupied Palestine [7 times since 2005] and why do I care so much about such a small plot of real estate. I reply, that I went the first time to meet a little boy of Beit Jala, which is a suburb of Bethlehem for he irrevocably changed my life.

“The United States Air Force has been training young missile officers about the morals and ethics of launching nuclear weapons by citing passages from the New Testament and commentary from a former member of the Nazi Party and includes a discussion on St. Augustine's 'Christian Just War Theory.'

On his Facebook page, Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian bomb attacker and shooter described himself as a Christian conservative. Police reported that he posted on nationalistic Christian fundamentalist sites. A fundamentalist is anyone who has quit thinking and there is nothing Christian about that nor nationalism!! His lawyer said that Breivik admitted to last Friday's shootings and “believed the actions were atrocious” but “that he wants a change in society and in his understanding, in his head, there must be a revolution."
