Misrepresenting our Founding Fathers (to include other notable free-thinkers)
#13
RE: Misrepresenting our Founding Fathers (to include other notable free-thinkers)
Or like this quoted attributed to Benjamin Franklin.

Quote:“A lighthouse is more useful than a church.”

With the real quote being this.

Quote:"The bell ringing for church, we went thither immediately, and with hearts full of gratitude, returned sincere thanks to God for the mercies we had received: were I a Roman Catholic, perhaps I should on this occasion vow to build a chapel to some saint, but as I am not, if I were to vow at all, it should be to build a light-house."

Or even this one.

Quote:Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

The actual quote.

Quote:"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
