While president, Jefferson wrote a book rejecting the divinity of Jesus, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, but it wasn't published until after his death.

On the day he died, friends were soliciting money for his relief at a ceremony in the House of Representatives marking the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

His assets had dwindled considerably and he desperately needed cash.

Had he lived, however, he would not have been able to depend on this solicitation. According to John Quincy Adams, only four or five people at the ceremony contributed to Jefferson's relief.

Jefferson was a big whoremonger who was confused because he laid down with many women not his wife in France and even his slaves.

He was confused like a gay person in 2005 but erred on the side of a believer ?
