Hi Muck! Yep, it certainly does help! It illustrates my point, precisely: that even though they do not follow the divinity of Christ, Diests still follow Christ, and are ardent followers of his teachings.  This is exactly what was written above- thanks again for supporting it.

I'm also glad you brought up Jefferson, a great Diest, one of my favorite quotes by him is:

"We all agree in the obligation of the moral principles of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses."

Thanks again.
