Thomas Paine: A Dirty Little Atheist

Thomas Paine was once called “A Dirty Little Atheist” by Theodore Roosevelt. While this may be the thought of many, Thomas Paine’s belief system should be allowed until reasonable proof is given of the system’s failure. The Christian worldview, Minus Chaotic, Mormon, and Other Christian cults, offers up multiple points to refute the theories of Thomas Paine. The fact that all scripture comes from the divine becomes the foundation of whether or not the entire religion will stand in the minds of rational people. Thomas Paine sees that there shall not be a revelation, apart from nature, from the divine to humans. His logic follows when he says that the Bible should not be taken as fact because it was not the Sovereign who wrote the book or

“Saviors must partake in the fall of Man, because they were born of man” becomes the logical, yet false, thought process that proceeds the type of thinking that forced its way into the subconscious of Thomas Paine. This logic becomes fallible, however, when the subject in question, in this case all divine Saviors, comes from the Divine nature. Jesus, for example, died, berried, and the Father resurrected him on the third day. For this to be the case Jesus must be of the divine

He states that only Psalms and Job present any revelation from God, but He also states that God would not give revelation in any form besides nature. In this, Thomas Paine presents absolute lack of any logic, because if no revelation in book form comes from God, then Psalms and job should also be wrong if his logic were to be correct. Another fault in logic presents itself when Paine states that God must be present in only one person. His logic is faulty here because the Christians say this as well and one of the reasons that he does not follow the Christian doctrine is because he does not believe any of it is true. This point shows that he believes at least a fraction of the Christian doctrine.

On the point of logic, the title of the paper lacks in logic, because what he means by The Age of Reason is that people took other people’s belief systems as their own and no one should mess with that. Where the fallacy comes into play is when he attacks the reality of Christianity’s God and book of belief, the bible, with what he sees to be true. The other way he disproves his own title is when he insults the Americans for being closed minded. With all the
