Benjamin Franklin

After reading a little bit about Benjamin Franklin I realize that he was a very interesting person.  I was surprised that he started kind of in the printing press. Most of the time I only ever think of him as a man of science or politics.  It is interesting how he has some view of Christianity, but it really isn't clear.  He references to it, but at the same time it almost seems as if he rejects it a little.  Aside from that I see a big emphasis on how he has overcome things and in this letter or address to his son he is trying to show that it is possible for others.  He is very much a person to rely on himself.  He has a very big belief in individualism.
