Paine openly advocated for a movement which transformed from fraternity, equality, and liberty into blood, terror, and tyranny. Paine was naive and incorrect, not knowing the horrifying place his ideas would lead.

Thank You President Monroe. My opinion about the silence of the people of power, who knew about the imprisonment of Paine, has gone the same route of their moral compass. ✨🇺🇸✨

Good job with this. I have always been fascinated by the Paine chapter in History. Most only cover the basics and move on. So I LOVE the fact you included the Irony of his Ending.

Coming back almost one yr later to say i believe this to be one of the MOST underrated channels on all of KZread man. Sincerely. You're great. And I wish you the highest possible success sir.

I think that T. Paine was well named; a real pain. He held a grudge with Washington because W. would not condone his release from the French. He gave no quarter, a real quarrelsome fellow. But I have to admire him for his honesty, determination and 'The Age of Reason'.

Washington was a land grabber. He was a lousy general. The only thing I can say positive is he listened to others about the what move to take his army. It's always about the money power and the women

A Paine in the arses of despots, the ultimate gadfly

Paine is the Englishman who invented the USA.

A man ahead of his time, a huge contributor to the US Constitution and a true believer in the Oneness of God. My absolute hero.

I've heard that Thomas Paine recanted, or regretted at least, writing Age of Reason. Is that true?

Reflecting how hubris, anxiety and at least revenge to some affiliation in Britain, enforced Paine to increase the situational revolutionary conflict at peril analogously with his thoughts of goverment and self-interest, indeed when do we need to stop a revolution and violence of mind so then moving toward a state of devolution amid de-escalation......

I’m going to give this some thought. The reason your question appeals to me is that I struggle with a history of violence. I was in the military for twenty years. I believed my government when they pointed at “the enemy” and told me my nation was threatened. I fully submitted to a brainwashing since I was a youth, not understanding that that’s what was happening. Now, in retrospect obviously, I can see it all much clearer. Like a bird flying way overhead seeing simultaneously how all my paths and trails connected. I’m not very disturbed by it all for a few good reasons, and I thank The Great Spirit for this. The most important reason was that when I was young I was introduced to The Tao Te Ching, and I had a love of Nature. Nature was my guru, you could say. Anyway, I suppose I’m rambling. I’d like to try to consider your question and share a reply worth a read. I’ll try to find some time. I’m taking a university class in our glorious Revolution now, and I’m fascinated by its genesis. Hope this finds you well. 🤙🏾🇺🇸⚓️

I thought it was Thomas Jefferson that got him out of the French prison.

I think he was the greatest advocate for reason and government. Unfortunately both in the U.S. and in France, they for a time became a cult of personality of Washington and Robespierre. One too conservative in the case of the U.S. and one to radical in the case of France.

We should remember Thomas Paine's works for what they were: inspirational & naive. His writings serve both as a guide for Liberal societies, and a warning for when revolutionary action is based upon abstraction too divorced from reality.

Paine is left

Too much on the French Revolution. Does not recognize the profound significance of Paine's pamphlet. Sounds like he's on the side of the British.

Lest rhymes with best.

The more I learn about him, the more disappointed I am with him. A lot of Thomas' best ideas came from his father. The father of Thomas Paine should have been one of the founding fathers of America. Thomas Paine himself rejected a lot of his father's wisdom and that's why he struggled so much in life.

Wrong because Thomas gave reason to how he arrived at his conclusions. Try reading them up or hearing about them and it'll be very easy to see what led to those conclusions.

In his life, he showed that he wasn't so much pro-republic as much as he was anti-British and anti-Authoritarian. That is why he wrote to encourage revolution FROM Britain. You could characterize him as an anarchist. I'm not saying that his writings are bad. His writing are wonderful. I just think his father deserves a lot of the credit. Thomas' work would have been better if he had listened more to his father. Instead, Thomas died alone, hated by many of the founding fathers.

I guess you don't have an opinion of your own

Thomas Paine's life should serve as a warning to people who reject the Word of God as mere myths. Thomas Paine's thinking reflects only the common drift of the enlightenment, casting aside truth from the Bible, and exalting the mind of man and his freedom to govern himself. We see the fruit of this ideology all around us. Look at social media, and what most people spout, that they are master of their own destiny. That is what their enlightened reason brought them, no hope for eternity, and that they are only earthly, and speak of the earth, which all of this is just passing away, as Jesus said. It makes me sad to learn that many of our founding fathers were blind to what God's Word truly teaches, and who Jesus Christ is and was. "Person of Interest" by J. Warner Wallace, is a great book. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Immanuel, עמנואל, with us - God, the only true and living God in the form of a man, of whom all of western society reflects the impact that this one single man has had multiples of times above all the other scholars and leaders combined down through time. Even Napoleon Bonaparte recognized this distinction in who Jesus was. Read his quotes.

On the contrary, any contemporary social problem you present as a negative outcome of the enlightenment is actually caused by people not thinking for themselves and not questioning how they're governed by states/corporations/religion
