In 1752, Jefferson began attending a local school run by a Scottish Presbyterian minister. He studied under the Reverend James Maury from 1758 to 1760 near Gordonsville, Virginia. Then he studied at William and Mary, which was ran, surprise surprise, by a clergyman. His education certainly revolved around the Bible, which is probably why cut and paste the New Testament into it's own book, https://www.amazon.com/Jefferson-Bible-Thomas/dp/1503032051
I'd challenge that it's more technically advanced, as well. Ask our young students to read and discuss the federalist essays. People were so well educated they were printed in papers back then. Do you think papers would even bother printing the federalist essays these days, or something as sophisticated? fat chance.
yes I agree, most of societies ills are due to materialism. but if you remove the divine as your guiding ideology, all you are left with is materialism.
He's in his low 30's, I'm high 20's, so I guess it's less mentor, and more just friends, then.
It would be a lot of effort for sure, but I think it would be interesting to have the discussion with him. I'm so used to judgemental Christians in my family growing up, that it's refreshing to have one that isn't so hardcore that I can have a real conversation about these things with.
I 100% agree with thinking critically. I would only use "Christian light" as the baseline. I don't even know of any kind of church like this, but I wouldn't tell the kids there's a god, I'd use something like the Jefferson bible that strips out all fantasy and myth. I like the fact that the bible is an unchanging source to use as morality, though outdated on things like homosexuality for example that I would change up.
If you use culture or whatever as your moral source (I don't know enough about moral frameworks), that is prone to sways in how culture shifts, this can lead to kids being raised in this worse culture. If you have a moral source that doesn't change that you can always point back to, like the bible in this case, and a community like the church that sticks with it, that is less likely to happen.
