Suppose Thomas Jefferson had been a Hindu rather than a deist . . . as a scholar, he would have been a part of the highest caste, the Brahmins. Based on his deeds and words, would Thomas Jefferson have been reincarnated after his death on July 4, 1826 as a lower caste or lifeform (based on too many bad deeds or words), or would he have ascended to oneness with the universe/Supreme Being (based on his good deeds/words and his liberation from worldly desires)? In other words, do you think he would have been demoted and reborn as a fruit fly, or would he have been promoted and attained spiritual perfection, and not been reborn at all?
Support your answer with two (2) specific (names, dates, quotes, etc.) historical Jefferson quotes or deeds. Your support facts must be unique . . . choose well!
This is a 10 point assignment! Post your answer in the comments to this post . . . first name, last initial, class period....
Good Luck!
