Doubting Thomas

On a slightly different note...

I have a great deal of respect for Thomas Paine; his book "Common Sense" was intregal to rallying the revolutionary fervor in the colonies. His second book "The Crisis" written during the trials of the revolutionary war were inspiring.

But I think he really got it very wrong on some critical subjects.....the French Revolution and religion for instance.
