REL 2001 Lecture : Paine S The Age Of Reason Notes
Document Summary
How is jesus the son of god any more than the next human. He accepts the believe in the virgin mary, kind of the same deal as mythology of a god sleeping with. View of the devil- thinks it was a retold story and was mythological, believes it was fictional. Pg 30, second and third paragraph- the god is even with the devil and are of the same level/ power. Take on jesus- believes he is the hero of the story, and if jesus wanted to start his own religion then he would write it him self. Also says that the people that have and it happen today, so why believe it to happen then. Take on the bible- thinks that bible is here-say, and then some people decided what was put in the bible and there was lots of stuff left out the bible. They took out possible things that would make you view the son of god.
