These are the very words that the God of truth and purity has been made to utter; believe a hundred things either visibly abominable or mathematically impossible; unless you do, the God of pity will burn you, not only during millions of thousands of millions of centuries in the fire of hell, but through all eternity, whether you have a body, whether you have not."
These inconceivable absurdities revolt weak and rash minds, as well as wise and resolute minds. They say: "Our masters paint God to us as the most insensate and the most barbarous of all beings; therefore there is no God; but they should say: therefore our masters attribute to God their absurdities and their furies, therefore God is the contrary of what they proclaim, therefore God is as wise and as good as they make him out mad and wicked. It is thus that wise men account for things. But if a bigot hears them, he denounces them to a magistrate who is a watchdog of the priests; and this watchdog has them burned over a slow fire, in the belief that he is avenging and imitating the divine majesty he outrages.
do you see it now you dishonest pog?
Both the believe and unbeliever should come to the same conclusion if you take the first paragraph into consideration. which is explained out in the blue
The green is him talking about himself as being or men like him being wise enough to see the brutality of God is caught by a bigot.. (IE someone in the church) the bigot will tell the law, and the law through the church will see that wise man who sees God as a monster burned ironically over a slow fire!!! (in the orange)
do you douche bag see what happens when you come at me with provable facts?
I read the whole thing and it is not saying what you think it does.
He's having a go at Christianity not the idea of god itself. Just THAT god.
So Deist, like people have been saying.
