Comment on Benjamin Franklin, Bible Believer by Russ

I think it’s well proven that Ben Franklin was at best a deist, and probably closer to an atheist, like Thomas Jefferson, at least in terms of personal belief. However he like the most of the founding fathers respected Christianity and believed it could be a positive influence of the country. However I think he would cringe today to be called a “bible believer” check out http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/john_remsburg/six_historic_americans/chapter_4.html to see quotes from his autobiography.

There are however, other founding fathers who were devout christians

You are right. Ben was one of my heroes since childhood. I was very disappointed to find out that he did not believe that Jesus is God. I can’t understand how he could have been such a genius and such a fool at the same time.

In his request for prayer at the Constitutional Convention, he quoted the Bible where it says, “Except the Lord build the house, the builders labor in vain who build it,” and said, “This I believe,” he said. And that’s why I call him a “Bible believer,” instead of calling him a Christian.

While I admire Ben, it would be a stretch to call him a Christian as the term we apply to Fundamentalist today.

God, whether it is popular to admit or not, was acknowledged by many in the 1700′s , but if you think all believed in God to the degree we are going to include cults, masons, mormons, universalist, Jehovah Witness and anyone that uses some aspect of the bible, then by all means….,

Put Ole Ben in that group of ahhhh……., Christians.

Lynn, I love teachers. I know that you are dedicated and that you love the kids. My beef is with the NEA. They are in league with the people who want to eliminate Christianity from American culture. And I don’t like it. These are the people who banned the Bible from school, who outlawed the Ten Commandments, who changed American history to eliminate God’s role in it. They call it diversity and multi-culturalism. It’s the removal of Christianity from American life.

The Tea Party also followed Rules for Radicals. It’s true. Dick Armey suggested it. So don’t think that just because someone picked a book that worked, they are necessarily following all the precepts of the writer’s philosophy. You go too far.
Teachers are nothing like this.
