Rationalist and Puritans!

Rationalist didn’t think God was the blame of everything, but the puritans thought he was. The puritans believed that everyone is born sinners. The puritans thought God chose those who he wanted to go to heaven. Everyone else would go to hell. Rationalist thought that human society was ran by natural law.

In order to correct their sins the puritans pray to god. Their only effort to fixs their moral corruption is by depending on god and not their actual selfs.
Ben Fanklin as a rationalist, took it upon hisself to come up with 13 virtues inorder to fixs moral corruptions. He takes up his only responsibilities coming up with his own morals instead of going by God. He tries to set goals for hisself. He is a good example of an rationalist.
The puritans are more about faith and rationalist is more about science and their own way of living, through the cause and the effect of their own actions. They know what is expected of them and they came up with their own way of fixing their morals without the help of God. Ben Franklin knew the difference of right and wrong, however he could not understand why he was still doing the wrong things. This is why he created the 13 virtures, setting an example for society to follow.
