I own a lot of tools for working on wood.
I think I read somewhere years ago in a book that George Washington didn't have any wooden teeth. cuhulin |

No wooden teeth Never prayed (that anyone's aware of) Rarely attended church and did not take communion Did not cut down a stupid cherry tree Don't lie. He made his wooden dentures from the wood of that cherry tree. Washington himself is quoted as saying "I canf nof pfell a lie..I cuth thaf thfee down.." Presumably he was using those same dentures when he made that statement. mike |

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation They weren't above saying what they thought the great unwashed wanted to hear, even in 1789. The paintings are photoshopped. Washington, America's first president, did attend church services during his adulthood, but refused to take Communion. When told by the priest that he was setting a bad example by attending but refusing to participate he chose to stop going altogether. So while he may not have been expressly an atheist, religion was clearly not something that weighed heavily on his mind and politics. Being religiously pious may be viewed by some as an essential characteristic of an American president today, but the man regarded as "The Father of America" was anything but. Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and America's third president, was adamantly opposed to the establishment of a state-sponsored church. It was he who wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This document was the primary inspiration for the First Amendment to the US Constitution which forbade the establishment of any religion by the state. Admittedly, Jefferson was more of a deist than an all-out atheist. However, Darwin's majestic theory of evolution by natural selection would sadly not be published in his lifetime. Considering Jefferson's brilliant scientific mind, being aware of and understanding that theory may have pushed him strongly into atheist territory. Lincoln, the man who signed the Emancipation Proclamation into law, was also not consoled by supernatural ideas. After the death of his son he was understandably devastated. One of the reasons for this despair was the idea that there was no 'next life' after this one. He believed his son was gone forever and dismissed any notion of an afterlife (a view that was not shared by his wife, who tried all kinds of supernatural ideas in order to feel a connection with her lost child). Lincoln never made any public pronouncements of faith, yet is still regarded by a vast number of Americans as the greatest president the nation has ever had. http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/th...eist-jefferson |
