Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.In today's atmosphere our politicians might more agree with the English royalty and want to distort Thomas Paine and his ideas. Oddly even though his work helped inspire our revolution repubivanism and even atheism is work may be more revolutionary today in the US than in England.

It was a balllsy publication for the time. He put everything on the line and died destitute for that pamphlet. They even stole his bones from his grave.
@CandR Well, he didn't go far enough in my opinion..there is NO GOD, but at least he sort of liberalized religion.
Agreed on the NO GOD part, but debunking religion or 'christian mythology' was a step forward in 1794.
