This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Question on Christianity, Jesus and Paul.... by Raoul

I only recently became aware of the Jefferson Bible. I know it takes out many of the miracles. I believe it also has to do with Jefferson being not a fan of Paul and what he added to the Bible and the Christian religion.

Does anyone know more about Jefferson's Bible and why he didn't like Paul's slant on Christianity? What about it didn't he like? (assuming this is even the proper framing of this Jefferson Bible)

I never had much religion beyond the two Theo classes at ND. So I don't understand the theological underpinnings of trying to exclude Paul's slant on Christianity.

Thanks in advance for any insights.
