The Age of Reason - Thomas Paine

http://www.republicaffair.com/ Athenian Stranger: Tell me, strangers, is a God or some man supposed to be the author of your Laws? Cleinias: A God, stranger; in very truth a God. -Plato, Laws

The primary object in writing this controversial little work, was to question the traditional understanding of God and religion, and to challenge the power and authority of traditional institutional religions. Are we a Christian nation, or are we a nation of Christians?

This man was a thinker.  His ideas still live on. He was a logical man.

Powerful words from a very wise man........I can now appreciate how is pamphlet "Common Sense" stirred a nation into action..........Pity he died in poverty and squalor.

Paine was a deist not a stupid christian! Just like Thomas Jefferson. This was never meant to be a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, but a country to get away from religous persecution, which is all christians are good for, forceing crap down everyones throat. The pinicle of OPPOSITE Ideals to this country christianity as a whole is unamerican.
