    Cutting and papsting didn't pave the way for him to own slaves. What a crock.

    Have you ever looked in the Bible?

    Leave the church? Question the church? Speak ill of the church, encourage others

    to leave the church? Work on the Sabbath? Strike your parents? Can't prove that

    you're a virgin, at the time of marriage? These all are punishable by.....

    death. The Bible orders the death penalties for these "crimes". The Bible doesn't

    make one moral.

  • Jefferson owned slaves. I guess that's what happens when you cut and paste the bible into what you only want to hear. He was a hypocrite in his time too.

  • Preserving our history is a noble cause

  • Where is the audio to go along with this? It needs to be explained.

  • Jeffereson also owned a Koran. I wonder where that ended up?

    Monticello has improved as a tourist attraction over the years. It now has it's own wine and beer! Jefferson never did get a decent bottle of wine from his grapes. I think if he could see the place now he'd say, "Wow, that tulip poplar got huge!"
