Ben Franklin

i love how he said that he died in 1709 when he was born in 1706 but i guess he got the age right

I love Benjamin Franklin. He was the best man. How did he developed his personality.

histroy itself developed it

One of the greatest Atheists of all time

LOL! What proof do you have that Franklin was an atheist? He wasn't a Christian, but he certainly wasn't an Atheist. He was a deist.

Most of the Founders held to some type of religion. Atheism was too ridiculous for men of this stature. Would that thinking men would reject the same ridiculous ideas of atheism today. We'd have a much better world.

Atheist or not Franklin believed Christianity was a load of BS, as well as all of the other religions..thats all that counts.

Ok, so first you're admitting that at best you were misinformed about Franklin's religious background, and at worst lying about it. Second, can you provide any statements by Franklin himself that show that he thought Christianity was a "load of BS"? Third, Franklin was truly an amazing man, but that doesn't mean he was right in every matter. He certainly knows NOW that he was wrong on Christianity--the Christianity that was the foundation of America.

"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies."

"In the affairs of the world, men are saved, not by faith, but by the want of it."

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758

He sure was way off base there! LOL. It's too bad, too. He knows now that he was wrong. He had a constant Gospel witness in his life for many years. The great evangelist George Whitefield was very good friends with Franklin and attempted to lead him to the Lord many times.  Too bad Franklin's fallen human reasoning got in the way of God's simple plan of salvation.

Just imagine, all of that and he still wasn't foolish enough to embrace atheism.

Ben Franklin Roosevelt XD lol
