This book was written 200 years ago. T. Paine analyses the Bible and literally destroys it. His argument and conclusions are so good they are almost impossible to dispute.
Fantastic book well worth the read. Only 74 pages.

it certainly is and for a book over 200 years old it is remarkably fresh to read and with an insight which still has impact today!!! How sad he died being almost completely rejected by the people he gave his amazing support to....

Paine was a British taxman whose thoughts & opinions were largely responsible for forming the wonder that is America today. I'm glad you enjoyed his writing. The man was a genius.
Did you know he wrote "The Age of Reason" while in jail in France? I believe that's right. What a guy!

I have. It's a good read, though fairly abrasive. LOL Has very good arguments that Deism is more reasonable than Christianity.

Brilliant refutation of bibles! Completely fascinating historical context too.

Excellent writing! However, it will not convince those Bible-thumping nuckleheads at all, as they have no power of reasoning and their minds are too lazy know the difference.

You know you have struck a cord when you get called "that filthy little atheist" by Teddy Roosevelt no less.
Thomas Paine, Where are you when we need you most ?

I've read parts of it, but I find the style difficult to keep interest. Writers of that time tended to be needlessly verbose.

Many people have. Dozens, at least. And never underestimate Christians' ability to dispute arguments with which they disagree.

I would like to read it, but I will tell you now that no amount of any man's "reason" can destroy the wisdom contained in the Bible.
