I will never step foot in a Smithsonian museum again. I simply cannot trust them to show me historical truth without pushing their agenda. First, it was the National Portrait Gallery's exhibit (warning: graphic content).
Now this.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is running an exhibit displaying an edited bible, cut and pasted by Thomas Jefferson, depicting the life of Jesus. The Smithsonian claims that "Left behind in the source material were those elements that [Jefferson] could not support through reason or that he believed were later embellishments, such as the miracles and the Resurrection." The display is entitled, "A Revolutionary Act," and runs right through Easter.
The [Smithsonian] web site states that Jefferson's "New Testament" is "an extension of his revolutionary spirit" and that, "in religion as in politics, he imagined liberating contemporary minds from inherited misconceptions and superstitions."
Yes. Because everybody knows those bitter clingers need to be liberated.
