One more thought before October departs...

I was reading my history book today when I stumbled upon this interesting bit of news (or olds, whichever); Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense, was a social outcast when he attacked Christianity publicly. Who, in today's society, would become a social outcast after dissing Christianity? On quite the other hand, I think it would elevate one's social status to laugh at the religion our founding fathers based this great nation on! How can we have fallen so far? This truly is the turning away.

I thought you might! But I wrote it before I even told you, so that's just history rubbing off on the rest of my life!:)
