    They replied to me, and it had nothing to do with the topic at hand (the founding fathers’ religious beliefs). It’s like barging into a conversation about the autobahn yelling GUYS, HITLER WAS REALLY BAD! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT!

      I mean, the broader thread has been talking about the philosophy and such included in the Jefferson bible. Seems pretty reasonable to put a note on a link to the thing just for the edification of anyone that checks it out.

      Its more akin to being adjacent to a conversation about the history of the autobahn, and being the one to say “so for anyone who’s not aware, the autobahn was largely built by the Nazis”

      It wasn’t an attack on you, just context for those who weren’t aware.
