@631Miami Paine also wrote an entire book criticizing organized religion for conditioning people into thinking that blind faith is a virtue. He believed in God but not in a form that neo-con, fundamentalist Christians would appreciate. He was a deist and a Unitarian.
"Pay as a remission of taxes to every poor family, out of the surplus taxes, and in room of poor-rates, four pounds a year for every child under fourteen years of age." Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man.
"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." -- Stephen Hawking
Glenn Beck is more Edmund Burke than Thomas Paine.

And clearly from this video and from what Paine said, he and Franklin agreed in the nothingness of organized religion.

"Thomas Paine was a good friend of Benjamin Franklin". This is true.
What Beck forgets to mention is that Big Ben was clearly (although secretly at times) an atheist. lmao

Thank you for the commentary-- it's an antidote for the nonsense from Glenn Beck. Why does he remind me of Sarah Palin?
