Good Sense by baron d' Paul Henri Thiry Holbach
page 18 of 206 (08%)
God is a chimera; and the qualities, attributed to him,
reciprocally destroy one another

110. Religion is but a system imagined in order to reconcile
contradictions by the aid of mysteries

111, 112, 113. Absurdity and inutility of all Mysteries, which were only
invented for the interests of Priests

114. An universal God ought to have revealed an universal Religion

115. What proves, that Religion is unnecessary, is, that it is
unintelligible

116. All Religions are rendered ridiculous by the multitude of creeds,
all opposite to one another, and all equally foolish

117. Opinion of a famous Theologian

118. The God of the Deists is not less contradictory, nor less chimerical
than the God of the Christians

119. It by no means proves the existence of God to say, that, in every
age, all nations have acknowledged some Deity or other

120. All Gods are of a savage origin: all Religions are monuments of
the ignorance, superstition, and ferocity of former times: modern
Religions are but ancient follies, re-edited with additions and
corrections
