Billboard Misquotes Jefferson

A billboard put up by an atheist group against Christianity quotes Thomas Jefferson as saying, "I do not find in Christianity one redeeming feature. It is founded on fables and mythology." The only problem is that Jefferson never said it. The head of Backyard Skeptics said, "I should have done the research before I put my billboard up." The Jefferson Library says the quote shows up on many Internet sites, but there's no evidence he ever said it and its unlikely he would have taken the time to create his own version of the Bible if he agreed with the statement.
