The Rationalists
Rationalists believed that everything could be explained through science while Puritans believed that those things should be left up to God and that whoever should do so was disrespecting God. Just like in evolution. Some people think that God created the earth but scientist believed in the Big Bang theory. So my guess is that the Puritans believed that God made everything and that the Rationalists believed that it was made through science.
In the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin he said that “men should be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown propos’d as thing forgot”. I think that this is the true thought of a Rationalist. The reason why I think that is because everything that they don’t know about the have to get an answer for and they won’t take that it was all because of God.
1. Never judge a book by its cover.
2. You can’t always make everyone happy all the time.
3. Don’t speak until spoken to(in other words don’t speak to anyone first)
4. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
5. If you are not going to say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
6. Never let your eyes tell what your mouth doesn’t want people to know.
7. Love yourself before you try to love others
8. We all live to die, so live as you please and as God intended.
9. Do onto others as you would want them to do onto you.
10. Even when you are lonely you are never alone.
11. Smiling is contagious so spread it around.
12. Never say never
13. You can do anything if you try.
I think that this is a good start to become the person that you have always dreamed of. If I did this every day for a month I think it would stick to me for the rest of my life. I don’t think that anyone could be perfect but you could be close to it if you continue to do this. But it seems really hard if you are already so use to doing something else. Its like your smoking your bad habits but you want to get on the right track and its just so hard to stop smoking.
