Interesting article but ....
Fact Check...

Of course, Jesus was influential in American life. The United States at its founding was 100 percent Christian and is 75 percent Christian today. But as important as Jesus was to Americans’ private lives, he had far less influence than Moses on the great transformations of our public life. The themes of Jesus’ life – love, charity, alleviating poverty – would not make the list of the defining impulses of most Americans.

It's my understanding that Franklin believed in God, but not necessarily Jesus.

imo Jesus somewhat supersedes Moses, but doesn't necessarily conflict with him.
Hard to understand Heavenly things, and impossible to understand others.
So putting thing in earthly terms is tough in many cases.

wow
fox buried that story pretty quick.

it is a ponderous opinion though. very interesting to me.

I think some of it could work again...in that last paragraph.

Moses had Charlton Heston as a spokeman ... Jesus had Mel Gibson.

meh, I might have liked Gibson's movie better, had it been in english.

Heston was just great.
