n Theology could not be believed if they were not instilled into the mind before the age of reason 36. The wonders of nature do not prove the existence of God 37, 38. Nature may be explained by natural causes 39, 40. The world has never been created: Matter moves of itself 41. Additional proofs that motion is essential to Matter, and that consequently it is unnecessary to imagine a Spiritual Mover 42. The existence of Man does not prove the existence of God 43. Nevertheless, neither Man nor the Universe are the effects of chance 44, 45. The order of the Universe does not prove the existence of a God 46. A Spirit cannot be intelligent it is absurd to adore a divine intelligence 47, 48. All the qualities, which Theology gives to its God are contrary to the Essence which is attributed to him 49. It is absurd to say that the human race is the object and end of the formation of the Universe 50. God is not made for Man, nor Man for God 51.

It is in vain that Theology attempts to clear its God from human defects: either this God is not free, or else he is more wicked than good 60, 61. It is impossible to believe that there exists a God of infinite goodness and power 62. Theology makes its God a monster of absurdity, injustice, malice, and atrocity 63. All Religion inspires contemptible fears 64. There is no difference between Religion, and the most somber and servile Superstition 65. To judge from the ideas which Theology gives of the Deity, the love of God is impossible 66. An eternally tormenting God is a most detestable being 67. Theology is a tissue of palpable contradictions 68. The pretended works of God do not prove Divine Perfections 69. The perfection of
