74. Absurdity of the theological stories concerning Original Sin,
and concerning Satan

75. The Devil, like Religion, was invented to enrich the priests

76. If God has been unable to render human nature incapable of sin,
he has no right to punish man

77. It is absurd to say, that the conduct of God ought to be a mystery
for man

78. Ought the unfortunate look for consolation, to the sole author
of their misery

79. A God, who punishes the faults which he might have prevented,
is a mad tyrant, who joins injustice to folly

80. What is called Free Will is an absurdity

81. But we must not conclude that Society has no right to punish

82, 83. Refutation of the arguments in favour of Free Will

84. God himself, if there were a God, would not be free: hence the
inutility of all Religion

85. According to the principles of Theology, man is not free a
single instant
