one of the founding fathers was benjamin franklin and some others, like thomas jefferson was said to be a deist. someone who believes in god and said in some laws, don't bother praying to him because your destiny will be determined how you relate to those laws. i'm going to give a quote, not an exact quote to what franklin said. let you decide if you think he was a deist or not. it was in philadelphia. the constitutional convention was deadlocked. they might not get a constitution. benjamin franklin was the oldest member of that delegation, probably the most respected, governor of pennsylvania and he wrote this speech. and this is what he said. i'm an old man. i've lived a long time and the longer i live, the more certain i am that god controls in the affairs of man. if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without its notice, can a nation rise without his aid. he went on to say, i move hence forth we begin each of our meetings with prayer. that started a precedent. i know that the 10 commandments are coming down from the halls of the courthouse and the nativity scene is disappearing f
