Men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin.
Were all Deists and yet these "heathens" managed to create the arguably the greatest nation ever to exsit on planet Earth.
So are they going to burn in hell because they did not hold of your faith?

Deism during the colonial period was not the same as our own version of deism as the clockmaker god. It was, rather, a more liberal form of Christianity, at least until the mid 19th century. This is also true of terms like Unitarian and Free-thinker. We know Thomas Paine was quite averse to orthodox Christianity and Jefferson really pruned it of miracles, leaving only morals, but in many regards the others might not be outside the pale of Christendom entirely. This would certainly be true of Washington. At least no current Episcopalian would blush at their beliefs. Regardless, there is no judge but God.

Everyone including the founding fathers have a choice to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, if not then they choose to spend eternity away from God.

You can only burn if you have some substrate to be burned, like flesh, wood, you name it.
If flesh is being burned, it will only last a few moments before it evaporates.
So, how come people continue to believe in such idiocy?

Unless they were Pagan they did not hold MY faith.
Interesting how people seem to know who "God" will or will not accept based on a book.
