>Since the web site is deism.org I would imagine that they collected a lot of exerpts that prove their points. So I would take it with a grain of salt, until you read the complete text that they chose to pull their exerpts from. I can pull just enough from Benjimin Franklin's writings to make him look like a Comunist if I really tried hard enough.
Good point. Seems lots of peoples wanna claim 'em perhaps thinking it gives them a "we were here first" leaverage in asserting their idealologies. But again, the Deism influnce is certainly not unfounded or only claimed by deism.org. And yeah, Franklin! What a character. He was a member in the "Hellfire Club" an intellectual organization that scorned and opposed organized and established religions, including Christianity. Wonder what kind of political water that would put him nowadays. ;) And he liked French women. (Me too Ben.)
