Hint Added; New Question

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 12:40 AM

For those of you who were wondering about question #2, I have a hint for you. I posted it in the comments.

And now a new question: What was the theological system that Thomas Jefferson adhered to and what is its most closely related organization today? [10 pts.]

No Googling again. And Flip, I promise to think of some less Ameri-centric ones.

About the new question: The theological system is Deism, and its most closely related organization today could be Freemasonry, or even the Unitarian Universalist Association of America.

Hmmm. This one is subject to debate, actually. I would say it was a brand of Deism that took other religions seriously as very good social forces to keep “lesser mortals” out of mischief. I personally believe TJ looked down his nose at the followers of Jesus, and preferred to believe he was more enlightened than most. I agree with Eduardo, though I really don’t care about points.

Eduardo gets the points. I was thinking the UUA for the second part (which seems to fit Ed’s point as well). 10 pts.
