Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense.

Atheism is the vice of a few intelligent people.

If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.

Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.

Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world.

If there are atheists, who is to be blamed if not the mercenary tyrants of souls who, in revolting us against their swindles, compel some feeble spirits to deny the God whom these monsters dishonour?

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.

The atheists are for the most part imprudent and misguided scholars who reason badly who, not being able to understand the Creation, the origin of evil, and other difficulties, have recourse to the hypothesis the eternity of things and of inevitability.

If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities.
