How much more revisionist history are you going to post here.
From your studies of Franklin, did he ever opine on whether or not God governed in the affairs of men?
If the answer is yes, he cannot be a deist."

Obviously, you use a different definition of the word "deist" than Franklin himself did:

"Franklin formulated a presentation of his beliefs and published it in 1728.[105]
It did not mention many of the Puritan ideas as regards belief in salvation, the divinity of Jesus, and indeed most religious dogma.
He clarified himself as a deist in his 1771 autobiography,[106] although he still considered himself a Christian.
[107] He retained a strong faith in a God as the wellspring of morality and goodness in man, and as a Providential actor in history responsible for American independence.[108]

Franklin was also very high amongst Freemasons.

Those are reasons why I consider Franklin, along with many other Founders, as Christians whose ideas were to-greater-or-lesser-degrees influenced by Enlightenment Age deism/theism, Unitarianism and/or Freemasonry.

I am here to ask that you treat such ideas with forbearance and respect.

There it is again, the notion that “many” founders think as you. I posted four times the church affiliations of the founders and 51 of 55 belonged to churches with Trinitarian confessions.

***Well, such a thing is too much to ask from God Himself, clad in human flesh. Jesus called false teachers like you ‘sons of satan’ but you would ask FReepers for their forbearance and respect. You ask more of FReepers than God expected of Himself. You are properly labelled a God damned heretic.
