* "The freethinkers have yet to produce any objections that have not long been refuted most thoroughly. But since they are not motivated by the love of truth, and since they have an entirely different point of view, we should not be surprised that the best refutations count for nothing and that the weakest and most ridiculous reasoning, which has so often been shown to be baseless, is continuously repeated. If these people maintained the slightest rigor, the slightest taste for the truth, it would be quite easy to steer them away from their errors; but their tendency towards stubbornness makes this completely impossible." -  [[Leonhard Euler]]<ref>Euler, Leonhard (1747).  ''Rettung der göttlichen Offenbahrung gegen die einwürfe der Freygeister'' [''Defense of the Divine Revelation against the Objections of the Freethinkers''] (Berlin, Germany:  Haude).  Reprinted in ''Opera Omnia'' III.12 [E92], pp. 1-265.</ref>
