| George Washington: Deist Or Christian American Moses?
July 10, 2016 by SkyWatch Editor
 Others counter that Washington’s faith was not very deep or meaningful. They label his interest in religion as perfunctory and insist that his practice of Christianity “was limited and superficial because he himself was not a Christian.” They stress that he refused to take Communion during the last 25 years of his life, frequently used deistic terms for God such as “the Grand Architect,” and seldom referred in his public addresses or private correspondence to Christianity and almost never to Jesus. They argue that Washington never mentioned that Christ was his savior or redeemer and did not even call Jesus a great moral teacher. Although Washington offered substantial advice to his stepchildren and nephews on moral subjects, he said nothing about religion. Moreover, the Virginian expressed no hope of eternal life and on his deathbed did not call for a minister to pray. Scholars [see Tom Horn’s “Zenith 2016”] also disagree sharply about the level and nature of his involvement with Freemasonry. (READ MORE) |
