The men and women who signed the Declaration of Independence

13. Jefferson isn't burning in hell because he's a Mormon now.

Hey cthulu2016, Santorum is only partially correct when in his view, Thomas Jefferson is burning in hell. Allow me to clarify for you!

You see, Jefferson was burning in hell. Needless to say he wasn't very happy. But then, in the late 1880's, he, and all the other signers of the Declaration of Independence appeared to the President of the Mormon church Wilford Woodruff, and asked him to help them become Mormons. Of course all the signers of the declaration were dead at this time, but their spirits appeared to President Woodruff in a vision.

Fortunately, the Mormon church just happens to have this "baptism for the dead" thing, so President Woodruff took time out of his busy schedule to be baptized in proxy for all these desperate souls. So Thomas Jefferson was saved and is no long burning in hell! Hallelujah!
