Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin , George Washington , including the author of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens); and Shakespeare. They were all Deist?
"When You tell me what God said. I am not putting my trust in God but
I am putting my trust in you. Because God did not tell me personally.
The same holds true when you read it for you do not even know the
Scribe who copied and translated it"... Thomas Paine.

Sigh and yield To Christian intercessors," -- Shakespeare
"The clergy...believe that any portion of power confided to me will be
Exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for
I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form
Of tyranny over the mind of man." -- Thomas Jefferson
What is Deism? How does it differ from Christianity?
First you must understand as soon as the King's Bible authority rule
Was defeated in our victory in winning the Revolutionary War.
The Church realizing it has lost its dominating powers through the King
Immediately set out to work trying to regain to cement in the minds of their
Christian citizens that we were founded on Judo/Christian Principles as late as
The war of 1812. They forced us to declare war upon them.
Their main mission was when they raided Washington's newly formed record's Bldg. To burn: Putting the
Torch to it, But this document failed to fully burn and it still stands alone
In our archives as a silent witness unable to yield any of the power it once had held:
Treaty of Tripoli
Unlike governments of the past that ruled this Planet Earth, the American Fathers set up a government divorcedFrom religion. The establishment of a secular government did not require a reflection
To themselves about its origin; they knew this as an unspoken given. However, as the U.S.
Delved into international affairs, few foreign nations knew about the intentions of America.
For this reason, an insight from at a little known but legal document written in the
Late 1700s explicitly reveals the secular nature of the United States to a foreign nation.
Officially called the "Treaty of peace and friendship between the United States of America
And the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli, of Barbary," most refer to it as simply the
Treaty of Tripoli. In Article 11, it states:
Joel Barlow, U.S. Consul General of Algiers

"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on theCopyright National Portait Gallery Smithsonian Institution/Art Resource NY
Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion,
Or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war
Or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no
Pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the
Harmony existing between the two countries."
The preliminary treaty began with a signing on 4 November, 1796 (the end
Of George Washington's last term as president). Joel Barlow, the American
diplomat served as counsel to Algiers and held responsibility for the treaty
negotiations. Barlow had once served under Washington as a chaplain in the
Revolutionary army. He became good friends with Paine, Jefferson, and read
enlightenment literature. Later he abandoned Christian orthodoxy for
rationalism and became an advocate of secular government. Barlow, along
with his associate, Captain Richard O'Brien, et al, translated and modified
the Arabic version of the treaty into English. From this came the added
Amendment 11. Barlow forwarded the treaty to U.S. Legislators for approval
in 1797. Timothy Pickering, the secretary of state, endorsed it and John Adams
concurred (now during his presidency), sending the document on to the Senate.
The Senate approved the treaty on June 7, 1797, and officially ratified by the
Senate with John Adams signature on 10 June, 1797. All during this multi-review
process, the wording of Article 11 never raised the slightest concern. The treaty
even became public through its publication in The Philadelphia Gazette on
17 June 1797.
So here we have a clear admission by the United States that our government
did not found itself upon Christianity. Unlike the Declaration of Independence,
This treaty represented U.S. Law as all treaties do according to the Constitution
(see Article VI, Sect. 2).
Although the Christian exclusionary wording in the Treaty of Tripoli only lasted
for eight years and no longer has legal status, it clearly represented the feelings
of our Founding Fathers at the beginning of the U.S. Government.
Has this definition been twisted away from your Natural Reason so
Smoothly This is the first time you have it thrust upon you?
HEARSAY: Definition: Evidence based on the reports of others rather
Than the personal knowledge of a witness and therefore generally not
Admissible as testimony. All revealed religions written in a book are in
Actuality HEARSAY. And in a court of law can not be admissible as truth.
When You tell me what God said. I am not putting my trust in God
But I am putting my trust in you. Because God did not tell me personally.
The same holds true when you read it for you do not even know the scribe
who copied and translated it.
Deism is a Natural religion; not a hearsay religion consisting of ones Reason
And ones observation of Creation!
'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.' -Mark Twain
