Following up on the mention of Thomas Jefferson's de-supernaturalized Bible during Timothy's Jesus report on Thursday in H1...
Jefferson was a self-avowed Epicurean and materialist. "Spiritualism" for him is a term of abuse applied mostly to the Platonic tradition. "Of Jesus he says, 'I am a Materialist; he takes the side of spiritualism.' [But] perhaps Jesus could be interpreted as an Epicurean after all."
In that spirit, perhaps we should all read our (Jefferson) Bible.
