103. Incontestible arguments against the Spirituality of the Soul 104. On the absurdity of the supernatural causes, to which Theologians are constantly having recourse 105, 106. It is false that Materialism degrades 107. The idea of a future life is only useful to those, who trade on public credulity 108. It is false that the idea of a future life is consoling 109. All religious principles are derived from the imagination. God is a chimera; and the qualities, attributed to him, reciprocally destroy one another 110. Religion is but a system imagined in order to reconcile contradictions by the aid of mysteries 111, 112, 113. Absurdity and inutility of all Mysteries, which were only invented for the interests of Priests 114. An universal God ought to have revealed an universal Religion 115. What proves, that Religion is unnecessary, is, that it is unintelligible 116. All Religions are rendered ridiculous by the multitude of creeds, all opposite to one another, and all equally foolish 117. Opinion of a famous Theologian 118. The God of the Deists is not less contradictory, nor less chimerical than the God of the Christians 119. It by no means proves the existence of God to say, that, in every age, all nations have acknowledged some Deity or other 120. All Gods are of a savage origin: all Religions are monuments of the ignorance, superstition, and ferocity of former times: modern Religions are but ancient follies, re-edited with additions and corrections 121. All religious usages bear marks of stupidity and barbarism 122. The more a religious opinion is ancient and general, the more it ought to be suspected 123. Mere scepticism in religious matters, can only be the effect of a very superficial examination 124. Revelations examined 125. Where is the proof that God ever shewed himself to Men, or ever spoke to them? 126. There is nothing that proves miracles to have been ever performed 127. If God has spoken, is it not strange that he should have spoken so differently to the different religious sects? 128. Obscurity and suspicious origin of oracles 129. Absurdity of all miracles 130. Refutation of the reasoning of Pascal concerning the manner in which we must judge of miracles 131. Every new revelation is necessarily false 132. The blood of martyrs testifies _against_ the truth of miracles, and _against_ the divine origin attributed to Christianity 133. The fanaticism of martyrs, and the interested zeal of missionaries, by no means prove the truth of Religion 134. Theology makes its God an enemy to Reason and Common Sense 135. Faith is irreconcilable with Reason; and Reason is preferable to Faith
