I never knew this, though most of you probably did, but Thomas Jefferson - in an attempt to correct what he thought was wrong with Christianity - rewrote the bible.
Really it was just a cut-and-paste edit. "Thomas Jefferson did not believe in Jesus' divinity, the Trinity, the resurrection, miracles, or any other supernatural aspect described in the Bible (from WIKI)."

I knew about it. I've been thinking about making a Schizophretard Bible. I want to go through it cherry picking out the ideas I believe to be reasonable, throw out the ideas that are obviously false, and see what I get. My God must be in there somewhere!

Uriah,
I think I found your God!
Song of Solomon Chapter 2 Verse 3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
