You really did say that. You're the only liar here.Now do you see why he is the NYLiar?
No, actually I didn't.
Or...you would have quoted same.
But, you are stupid enough to agree with the NYLiar.
You blamed 'reason' for the bloodiness of the French Revolution.
Put in the quote, NYLiar.
We'll start there.
"As the abattoir known as the French Revolution proved, replacing religion with reason is a monumental error.
'Reason' results in deciding to kill any who don't agree with the government."
yes we'll start there.
Now you tell me what exactly in that quote makes my quote a lie.
My quote is:
"You blamed 'reason' for the bloodiness of the French Revolution."
Be specific
Now....watch carefully and note how a scholar destroys you:
- Although attributed to Rousseau, it was Diderot who gave the model for totalitarianism of reason: “We must reason about all things,” and anyone who ‘refuses to seek out the truth’ thereby renounces his human nature and “should be treated by the rest of his species as a wild beast.” So, once ‘truth’ is determined, anyone who doesn’t accept it was “either insane or wicked and morally evil.” It is not the individual who has the “ right to decide about the nature of right and wrong,” but only “the human race,” expressed as the general will. Himmelfarb, “The Roads to Modernity,” p. 167-68
