I was interested in the new Federalist Party, and I offered to help them craft a position on abortion to add to their platform. That was back in January, and I never even received a response.

In regards to John Adams’ view of the deity of Christ, Frazer wrote:


However, like the deists, Adams did not believe in the deity of Jesus … For Adams and the other theistic rationalists, Jesus was an exemplary man who left an example to follow and who deserved to be imitated, but He was not God.

Frazer is partly correct in this statement.  Adams was a committed Unitarian who rejected the orthodox concept of the Trinity.  In other words, he did not believe that Jesus Christ was the same being as God the Father.  However, there are a very wide range of Unitarian views of Christ, and Frazer is mistaken to conclude that Adams believed Jesus to be just an exemplary man.
