I do not disagree
and am very much aware that Jefferson was a deist (although a member of a Christian church--I believe Anglican). I am not suggesting the founders were necessarily referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But the fact is, it matters not a twit as to which "God" the founders may have been referring. What matters only to post modernists is the very mention of the word God.
But in all honesty, it is very difficult for me to imagine that Jefferson didn't have Yahweh in mind when he made reference to God. Jefferson seems to have believed in Yahweh, but only to the extent of deist thought. Jefferson was very much a product of the Enlightenment, and Jefferson dismissed anything that transcends the rational process.
How you been? When are you coming to H-town? How's the family?
