Question

“Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God….” What is the BEST meaning of impious as Paine uses it in this quotation? A. critical B. immoral C. unpleasant D. troublesome

Answer 1

I would say the correct answer is B. immoral.
The word impious means that you aren't showing respect to God, the respect he deserves. So when you are impious, it means you are disrespectful towards God, meaning you are acting in an immoral way, because God is the epitome of morality and everything good.
