121. All religious usages bear marks of stupidity and barbarism
122. The more a religious opinion is ancient and general, the more it ought to be suspected 123. Mere scepticism in religious matters, can only be the effect of a very superficial examination 124. Revelations examined 125. Where is the proof that God ever shewed himself to Men, or ever spoke to them? 126. There is nothing that proves miracles to have been ever performed 127. If God has spoken, is it not strange that he should have spoken so differently to the different religious sects? 128. Obscurity and suspicious origin of oracles 129. Absurdity of all miracles 130. Refutation of the reasoning of Pascal concerning the manner in which we must judge of miracles 131. Every new revelation is necessarily false 132. The blood of martyrs testifies _against_ the truth of miracles, and _against_ the divine origin attributed to Christianity |
