    Voltaire was not an atheist, but he was against any and all religions that were opposed to freedom of thought. Thus he became a bitter enemy of the Catholic Church as it existed in France. As he aged he spewed a great and greater venom against the church. Beginning in his early 60's he began to sign his letters to his friends with the phrase "Ecraser l'infame!" (Crush the infamous thing!) Voltaire clearly meant the spirit of persecution but his enemies proclaimed that he was ridiculing the Catholic Church.

    Akong pet peeve the Catholicism is Mary. The tradition and mysticism I can understand and respect. The sermons, not so much, pero mada-da ra after a day or so.

    Pero deifying mary?! Have you heard of the litany of the virgin mary lately?

    Queen of confessors
    Queen of the Afflicted
    Queen of Angels
    Queen conceived without original sin
    Queen of heaven

    Asa man intawn na gikan oi. Too close to The Anti-Christ Revealed for comfort.

    i don't want to say anything..before they hate women now they love women...hhmmmmmm..bahala sila oi..im glad im out of it.

    Notice that the most superstitious ages have always been those of the most horrible crimes... The superstitious man is ruled by fanatics and he becomes one himself. On the whole, the less superstition, the less fanaticism, and the less fanaticism, the fewer miseries.

    From Voltaire's Dictionnaire Philosophique 1776.
    Well im kinda against religion in principal but I understand why they do and respect those who believe. I agree on the religious fanaticism part tho. Grabe and cruelties done in the name of religion. I honestly thought na wala na na karun but going strong pa diay gihapon.

    Some of the Christians in the west, some cults in our county and in others, some Hindus in India, some Jews in Israel, some Muslims and bangladesh and some other places. Its easy to justify crimes in the name of god.

    Yes Emmanuel Kant was also a brilliant philosopher but Voltaire was the most bitter enemy of the Roman Church because he advocated FREEDOM FROM RELIGION through HUMAN REASON and elevated HUMAN DIGNITY and INTELLIGENCE over RELIGIOUSITY and FANATICISM!

    I dunno... para nako medyo kusog paman gihapon. There are parishes in the country that still collect tithes. And parish priests in some provinces are still very active in town politics. Maski sa sermon mutira ug mga politico.
