Moderator Cornelius Posted August 16, 2011 Moderator Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 This will be the Book club thread for the Age of Reason. Enjoy the read ! Age of Reason Introductionby Thomas PaineTO MY FELLOW-CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:I PUT the following work under your protection. It contains my opinions upon Religion. You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason. I have never used any other, and I trust I never shall.Your affectionate friend and fellow-citizen,THOMAS PAINELuxembourg, 8th Pluviose, Second Year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.January 27, O. S. 1794.The age of reason can be found here.http://www.ushistory.org/paine/reason/intro.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
