Signature | |
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) Thomas Jefferson was, above all, a Godly man, but definitely the most Godly thing he did was when he created his own Bible and took out Jesus' miracles and his perceived misinterpretations of Jesus' contemporaries, guys like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Although it may have been that affair with the slave. Or maybe his belief that Native Americans who resisted the greatness of the white man should be exterminated?
