Rick Warren Breaks The Irony Meter

WOW!  What can I say?

Here is another Thomas Paine quote for you…. (Thanks to Positive Atheism)

All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
– Thomas Paine, (1737-1809), The Age of Reason, pt. 1, “The Author’s Profession of Faith” (1794), quoted from The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations

    Warren broke the irony meter?

    What about the irony that Thomas Paine was not, in fact, an Atheist, but a professed Deist, as stated in more than one writing, including “The Age Of Reason?”

  2. Phil says:

    @ Brian,
    Imagine the irony (and embarrassment) of making a comment on a post about irony without actually understanding irony.
    also…. where did I say that Paine was an atheist?
