A reproduction of the philosophical pamphlet by Benjamin Franklin, written in response to The Religion of Nature Delineated. It argues that an omnipotent, benevolent God is incompatible with the human notions of free will and morality. He goes on to say that humans and animals are equal in God's eyes, an agreement that years later he refuted publicly.
