When a Founding Father Took On God
Picture a man sitting in a French prison cell in 1793, hearing the daily rumble of carts carrying victims to the guillotine. Thomas Paine-the same firebrand who wrote "Common Sense" and helped spark the American Revolution-was now penning something far more dangerous than a political manifesto. He was writing a critique of the Bible itself. The result, "The Age of Reason," would get publishers jailed in England, spark riots, and eventually force even conservative clergy to acknowledge truths they'd long denied. Yet this wasn't the work of an atheist trying to destroy faith. It was something more radical: a believer arguing that real religion required thinking, not blind obedience. Centuries later, his arguments still echo through debates about faith, reason, and who gets to decide what's sacred.
