					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://wthrockmorton.com/2012/03/14/familybible/#comment-82529&quot;&gt;J.Green&lt;/a&gt;.

J.Green - I have been to DC many times and read the documents but that doesn&#039;t have anything to do with factual accuracy. 

Read here for more on Aitken&#039;s Bible: http://www.religiontoday.com/news/monumental-documentary-history-accurate.html - That Bible was not produced for schools by Congress. Congress approved the accuracy of it. It was Aitken in his letter to Congress that pitched it as a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use in schools. However, Congress did not say that nor approve it for that purpose. 

I don&#039;t know what the Mayflower Compact has to do with getting history right.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m curious then what you would have to say about the 1782 (Aitken?) Bible that was approved by Congress and produced for the schools in our country at that time. Was the Bible not used in our country&#039;s schools for a very long time? How many have actually read the Mayflower Compact? Was that not a government civil charter? Christians are no different than ANY person who has convictions. Who isn&#039;t attracted to those platforms that support our convictions, whatever those might be?  Most people do not do further research when they find those platforms, liberals and conservatives alike. I have found that many &quot;leftists&quot; leave out just as many facts as you accuse David Barton of doing. Those who put more effort into finding the truth on their own will not be disappointed. Read the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and its many ammendments, then travel to Washington D.C. to see for yourself our many national monuments and engravings.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Craig - Even if your version is what he meant, it still would not be true. The Founders involved simply bought the Thomson Hot Press Bible.

They did not put up any money to get it translated, because Thompson used an existing translation of the Bible for his new printing method.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Are they talking about Thomas Jefferson&#039;s version of the bible, the one that removes all the supernatural aspects of the story of Jesus? I doubt it:



&quot;Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites.&quot; ~ Thomas Jefferson, (1743-1826), Third US President, second Vice President



&quot;The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.&quot; ~ Thomas Jefferson wrote, in a letter to John Adams (April 11, 1823)



&quot;The Christian god is a three-headed monster, cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three-headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites.&quot;  ~ Thomas Jefferson 



“In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot.” ~  Thomas Jefferson]]></description>
