Bob wrote:Accusations of being an infidel

During the 1800 presidential campaign, the New England Palladium wrote, "Should the infidel Jefferson be elected to the Presidency, the seal of death is that moment set on our holy religion, our churches will be prostrated, and some infamous 'prostitute', under the title of goddess of reason, will preside in the sanctuaries now devoted to the worship of the most High."[29] Federalists attacked Jefferson as a "howling atheist" and infidel, claiming that his attraction to the religious and political extremism of the French Revolution disqualified him from public office.[30][31] At that time, calling a person an infidel could mean a number of things, including that they did not believe in God. It was an accusation commonly levelled at Deists, although they believe in a deity. It was also directed at those thought to be harming the Christian faith in which they were raised.

While opposed to the institutions of organized religion, Jefferson consistently expressed his belief in God. For example, he invoked the notion of divine justice in 1782 in his opposition to slavery,[32] and invoked divine Providence in his second inaugural address.[33]

Jefferson did not shrink from questioning the existence of God. In a 1787 letter to his nephew and ward, Peter Carr, who was at school, Jefferson offered the following advice:

“Fix Reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than of blindfolded fear. ... Do not be frightened from this inquiry by any fear of its consequences. If it end in a belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise and in the love of others which it will procure for you. -- (Jefferson's Works, Vol. ii., p. 217)[34] ”

Following the 1800 campaign, Jefferson became more reluctant to have his religious opinions discussed in public. He often added requests at the end of personal letters discussing religion that his correspondents be discreet regarding its contents.[5]

But I like this Jefferson quote the best...

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.[37]

No they were not.

I think they even ended up paying for damages.

We are fortunate to have somebody on this forum who can speak for god and be a nazi at the same time.  God must have a great sense of humor.

Thank you for sharing.

Where did I say anywhere, or infer, that "God has ordained that Duck Dynasty products be sold in Cracker Barrel?"

We are all well aware that comprehension is not one of your strong points but if you will re-read my headline, I said that CAPITALISM caused the Cracker Barrel Corporation to put the Duck Dynasty merchandise back on their shelves.

What did I not make clear?

It was a few restaurants that were accused. It was certainly not a company policy. We have patronized Cracker Barrel since the mid 80's...great restaurant when traveling. When I had the AAU traveling  basketball team we always ate at Cracker Barrel and my team was black, white and hispanic. Never a problem.

Don't start your racial crap.

No I'm pretty sure it was Cracker Barrel.

Are you sure that wasn't Dennys ?

Between supporting Chik-Fil-A, Paula Dean, and Cracker Barrel, they'll all be dead from congestive heart failure in a few short years.

Huzzah!

Ian McKellen (Gandalf in Harry Potter) has that role nailed.
Plus McKellen is gay and since the show Duck Dynasty was created by an actor who does gay porn movies,  what could be more appropriate.  lol
