  • No he actually wanted people to scrutinize the bible and other religious texts and realize it was all made by man and preached Deism. Man's word is imperfect and doesn't give us the proper interpretation of god or his will. It's like trying to look through cloudy water.

  • He also spurred the French Revolution of 1789, but even too radical for them. It's a shame he died a pauper and penniless.

  • @Luigi84289 there is a guru who was having an argument about god. someone said to him that "god doesnt make junk". the guru replied "yeah, well it doesnt make junkyards either" :)

    i thought you might like that given what you said.

  • Drop the music.

  • Ahh. Love everyone that keps his name alive! Good work! but you missed loads of stuff that wasn't american patriotic.

  • @gnutsrocknroll Religious texts do nothing more than try to convince man that he knows something he doesn't. That ignorance is knowledge by labeling ignorance "God". The only thing that a "God" label fits upon is all of reality, that is everything that exists. Trying to place limits on the concept of God by bringing it inside the realm of existence undermines it. God cannot be part of existence but must necessarily to be a real concept be all of it.

  • @Luigi84289 thomas jefferson designed UVA with a library at its center to avoid religion. Every college in Europe had a church in the center at the time. He wanted people to open their eyes to knowledge, science and reason and away from religion. Thomas Paine was no different

  • All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

  • @SurlyCalifornia Left head has no more right to his name either. it's all the same leviathan. Resist it, and be free.

  • Return to the Union bitches.

  • It is such a shame that men of great courage and ability like Tom Paine and Nikola Tesla have almost been airbrushed out of mainstream history.......There are probably more men of stature, whose deeds and names remain unknown because "The Elite" have decreed it.
