Thomas Jefferson, our icon of freedom and personal liberty set the national policy toward Native Americans that would last for over one hundred years. He began the trail of tears which would destroy cultures and result in the reservation system.

Quote Jefferson please.
So are you now saying Jefferson was a Christian?

Stated plainly in the Declaration of Independence:

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

Do YOU say this is true or not?

Getting back to the OP......

The God of Abraham was hardly a supporter of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" I somehow doubt that's the creator Jefferson was referring to.

JudeBrando - You are not in any position to demand responses from others, and I can't imagine why anyone would reply to such a demand from you.

This is the crux (sorry) of the matter.
