Mirror of Justice: The Founders in their own words: the "artificial scaffolding" of Christian belief
"And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away [with] all this artificial scaffolding." — Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 11 April 1823, Adams-Jefferson Letters,  Lestor J. Cappon, ed., II, 594 "

As the veil is being lifted, we realize that in this regard Thomas Jefferson was mistaken, for one need only understand the personal and relational essence of The Blessed Trinity to recognize that the essence of Love is Trinitarian, not Unitarian, and that it is through The Spirit of Love between The Father and The Son that human life exists in God's Creation.
