<b>Thomas Paine, who wrote "common Sense", which was very important in starting the revolutionary war, also did something else. Something, that may make many of you a little iffy. He wrote a book called "the age of reason", which critiques every religion. It's not for the faint of heart.. and let me say this. if you can read the entire book, think about it, and still be religious: more power to you. Nothing will ever change your beliefs. Now.. to prove that i'm not trolling.. i'll post this, a direct quote from the book:
"I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe."
Go to your library, check it out, give it a try. It's very interesting....
