Quote by Thomas Paine
He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of reason in rebellion and the concept of a true defender of the faith. It suggests that someone who rebels against reason itself is a rebel in their own right, but asserts that those who rebel against tyranny in defense of reason hold a higher claim to being the true defenders of the faith. The quote also directly brings into question the validity of George the Third's title as Defender of the Faith, implying that it is weaker or less significant compared to those who stand up for reason against oppressive forces.
