Ben made perfect sense. After being forced to believe in a religion that did not always make sense to him, in England, he sought to develop his own personal relationship with God. He never failed to recognize a supreme being. He was much too intelligent for that. How awesome it must have been for him to come to a land and practice freedom of religion. And, Archer, there would have been no liberty in this country if there had not been a moral compass, which our founding fathers gleaned from the Bible. One does not need to be a Christian to understand and embrace moral principles. I have friends that are Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh (and many others) that believe exactly in the basic principles that our founding fathers set forth. They are LEGAL immigrants, now citizens of these United States.
