Was Benjamin Franklin a Christian?
November 17, 2014 at 9:45 am (This post was last modified: November 17, 2014 at 9:46 am by jumuhamd.)
I've always heard that Benjamin Franklin was either an atheist or a deist, but a friend just sent me a link to a video clip claiming that he was a Christian. The video presents 8 quotes of Franklin claiming to believe in Christ. Does anyone know if these quotes are legitimate or if they are taken out of context?

Here's the link to the video that I received: http://youtu.be/1Ac4HHKtETA
