Let’s Play a Game
1.) “Women are subordinate to
men.”
• “Adultery committed
by the husband is a
less offense than that
committed by a
woman. The unfaithful
woman dissolves the
family and breaks all
the bonds of nature…”
2.) Laissez-faire
• “The government
should have
enough good sense
to let people
pursue their own
economic interests
without
intervention.”
3.) Miracles?
• The Greatest Miracle is
that people actually
believe in them.
4.) Social Contract
• All men are born free,
but everywhere they
are in chains.
5.)
• “All religious faiths,
Christian and nonChristian should be
accepted, as religious
zeal is the sole cause of
persecution, harm,
and repression of
fellow humans.”
6.)
• “Christianity
rose from
natural causes,
not miracles
and piety.”
7.)
• “No single set of
laws nor
government can
be applied to all
countries at the
same time.”
8.)
• “People are
dependent on others
and it takes courage
to use his or her
reason.”
9.)
• “Religious fanaticism
just cost one innocent
French Protestant his
life.”
10.)
• “Freedom of
expression and
one’s willingness to
allow it will lead to
living at peace with
one’s fellow human
beings.”
