Thanks for the great quotes! We all owe Thomas Paine a lot!

I love Thomas Paine's outstanding and thought provoking book on God, Deism and religion, The Age of Reason, The Complete Edition. In this book he calls for a revolution in religion based on our God-given reason and Deism. The potential good Deism can bring about, if given the chance, is limitless.
