→My problem with Voltaire
So I get annoyed - my feathers are "ruffelled" (sorry Cons) - when someone ignores the barbarity and criticises the source of the light shone onto it. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 00:50, 27 November 2014 (EST)

:I know this is old, but even still... Jesus's father had absolutely no problem with it, if [[Sodom and Gomorrah]] and [[Korah's Rebellion]] are of any indication (and let's not forget that Jesus didn't exactly restrain himself with the money lenders, and he DID outright poison an oak tree at one point, so even Jesus himself can be downright nasty at times.). Besides, Voltaire advocated for even MORE brutal measures ultimately. His ideas formed the French Revolution and by extension the dechristianization program. Heck, he basically pre-dated Big Tech's censorship policy against conservatives and Trump supporters currently while hypocritically demanding for robust free speech by silencing and destroying any Christian sects and not allowing the latter to have any way to give their view. Also, France stopped burning people at the stake by the time of Voltaire's age. They instead hanged them. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 07:46, 24 January 2021 (EST)

Can the quotation "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to your death your right to say it" please be removed from this page, as there is no evidence that Voltaire said this. What Voltaire actually said was "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too". [[User:Carltonio|Carltonio]] ([[User talk:Carltonio|talk]]) 02:42, 10 July 2020 (EDT)
