Quote: Washington Would Have Made a Lousy Deist 3/6/2002 Quote: Washington Would Have Made a Lousy Deist “Washington was, in fact, a Christian. Those who claim he was a deist probably don’t know what a deist is. A deist would not consistently refer to active, intervening “providence” of God for the care of his nation. A deist would not compile a diary of private prayers calling on Jesus Christ to pardon him of his sins. As Chief Justice John Marshall said, “Without making ostentatious professions of religion, [Washington] was a sincere believer in the Christian faith and a truly devout man.” — from Frank Wright, “President’s Day? Let’s celebrate George Washington’s birthday,” The Washington Times, February 18, 2002. Wright is executive director of the D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship in Washington. Rosie’s a ‘Dyke’ — Rosie O’Donnell, during a recent comedy act at the Carolines Comedy Club in New York City, reported by Jeannie Williams, USA Today, “Rosie, Coy on TV, 'Comes Out' on Stage,” February 27, 2002. O’Donnell, who has adopted three children, reportedly will lead a challenge to Florida’s law banning homosexual adoption after acknowledging her homosexuality in an upcoming interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer. |
