Happy July 4th
I spent most of today driving, so any celebration of July 4th has been a bit muted. A thought for the day from Thomas Paine’s introduction to Age of Reason.
I put the following work under your protection. It contains my opinions upon Religion. You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.
