the Age of Reason is a great book. i was in the middle of finding what religion i should belong to and it is really enlightening. i can definitely see though how Adams and others would say that Paine "did harm" because he attacks religions. he makes some great factual statements in his book, though, i encourage you all to read it
thanks
maybe Jesus is not the son of God after all and the Jewish people are closer to the truth.
p.s. i'm unitarian universalist, not jewish
THANKS!
