Additional quotes by Thomas Paine
Nimeni nu va nega sau nu va pune in discutie puterea Atotputernicului de a infaptui, daca doreste, o astfel de comunicare. Dar admitand, de dragul argumentului, ca unei persoane i s-a revelat ceva, fara sa i se reveleze vreunei alteia, atunci aceea este revelatie numai pentru acea persoana. Cand ii spune despre ea unei a doua persoane, iar a doua unei a treia, iar a treia unei a patra si asa mai departe, inceteaza sa mai fie revelatie pentru toate acele persoane. Este revelatie doar pentru prima persoana, iar pentru toate celelalte este un zvon, nefiind astfel obligate sa o creada.
