Guess who said this
"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own"

Don't google it, actually try and guess.

Thomas Jefferson

A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt.

On edit: but I think he should had added "temporarily" after principles.

9. No, you have to write the code to change the color
Here's a handy little DU reference for doing such things: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=html_table

14. It looks like you cut/pasted the code that was in that link
Basically you put that code you copied in where you want to change the color of the text, tell it what color you want where it says color= and replace the word "text" in the example with whatever text you like.

10. Do youre homework, Jeffy. The church itself is the one in bed w/ despots
The priests are just in bed with his sons.

15. See, I told you the Democratic Party was full of "God Haters"!
Rather than listen to ACLU crazies like the founding father you quote, they should listen to the patriotic likes of Pat Robertson and Roy Moore. Hallelujah!

Oh, and welcome to DU. :hi:
