Jefferson's Bible

Yet again, I've come up with a blog post for this class based on information brought up in my other religion class.  This time, while going over Deism and the beliefs of some of the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson's Bible was brought up.  Jefferson was a notable Deist who, while accepting Jesus as a moral teacher, rejected all talk and belief that He was the Son of God.  Because of this, he then went through the Bible and cut out all mention of Jesus that could not be scientifically proven.  Obviously, this would include the miracles and the Virgin Birth as well as the Resurrection.  After his revision was complete, Jefferson pasted all the acceptable passages into a new book and the bible that bears his name was born.  The original copy of Jefferson's Bible, or the Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is also known, is on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.
