Franklin grew up initially in Christian churches and questioned it as he matured.
"In England a number of deists rejected a god who condemned most of mankind to eternal torment because of what a supposed ancestor had supposedly done... Their God... revealed Himself to human beings only by what He visibly did in His visible universe, not through any direct revelation in the Bible and not through any incarnation in a son named Jesus."
Our eyes can be deceived by that which is visible, but aren't visible things generally more trustworthy than the unseen?
