Dave,Sorry about the "Brit bashing". I'm not really bashing Britain but its spinoffs-Canada and Australia. These countries may be interesting but in the big scheme of things pale next to Britain and the US. I don't go out of my way to antagonise these people but when they come on here and make those smart ass comments, I have to put them in their place. I want to go on the record as saying I hold Britain in the highest esteem. Everywhere has blockheads though!

Davedemocrat, that's what I've been trying to explain...Just because a patriotic song about my nation includes the word "God" in it doesn't meant we run around stating we are the chosen ones or that my land is more blessed than yours...While most Americans believe there is a God that is common throughout the world, simply because it's nice to think you'll see deceased loved ones again ect ect.

Evening mag.....Yes tell me about it, I only found out this week that he was born 15 miles from here!....I think his work should be brought to the attention of more teenagers worldwide not just in the US...A real radical free thinker, to be honest I had never heard of deism until getting into Paine....plenty of food for thought just on that subject. I see ahmed the terrorist has been writing to you! LOL, and the Brit bashing continues, you are too easy to goad, you bite every time! LOL..regards

Tom Paine was a smart guy!

You don't have to go to church to be religious or spiritual...you don't need organised religion to be a good person...In the words of Thomas Paine 'my mind is my church'.

No, I'm not a redneck. I do, however, enjoy an occasional trip to the country.

Love this song. I'm proud to be an American & I love my country. May God bless the USA.

I was y impression that only 12% of America's population classified them selves as atheist or non-relgious. A lot said they don't go to church but still believe in God

I have a gun and dog for hunting rabbits. Who needs ferrets.

Yes I would, BUT I would not try to be a douchbag and write mean comments
