Voltaire once wrote to the King of Prussia urging him to abolish Christianity in his domains, saying that it “is assuredly the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and the most bloody religion which has ever infected the world. Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by eliminating this infamous superstition… My one regret in dying is that I cannot aid you in this noble enterprise, the finest and most respectable which the human mind can inspire.”

The Kool Aid man once said: To 'choose' dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid.”

I regard their opinons equally.

Voltaire was very #Brave for his era wasn't he?

In other words a complete faggot

And his protege Friedrich II was the guy who ended up letting the Catholics into Prussia. Ironic, isn't it?

Implying I care about the opinions of the absolute retard who wrote Candide.

You don't like Candide?

Have you read Candide? It's like reading an eight year old making fun of something for a hundred pages.

It was required reading back in high school, but I frankly don't remember much about the story other than lots of bad things happening to the main character. I do remember my teachers lauding it as a masterful piece of satire, though.

Voltaire the freemason?

Yeah, frick that guy.

I am grateful I have been born in this time and place. Any other time and I think I wouldn't have matured enough to see through the "classics" as the edgy BS that they are. 80% of the "classics" are crappy satires and edgy manifestos. Imagine how unbearable Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle must've been.

And now Voltaire is dead, and Christianity is chugging along just fine, despite him saying it'd be an archeological curiosity by the end of his century.

Something to remember when secularists say religion will be dead soon.

Eight year olds can't talk smack for a hundred pages.

Why am I not surprised?

It appears he's not even a secularist. If he was a Freemason he was simply hostile for religious reasons of his own.

Most of these "secular" guys are actually frauds in that respect. I can't think of many that were true secularists.
