Are you okay?
Voltaire if anything was a key factor in the attempted genocide against Christians during the French Revolution, and his ultimate aim was to destroy God because he can’t stand the latter being smarter than him (basically, compare Voltaire to Lex Luthor from Superman, only in this case, I’d argue Voltaire was even LESS impressive than Lex Luthor. At least the latter made a lot of impressive scientific achievements that had him earn his tatus as having a high intellect, while Voltaire wrote puerile philosophical writings and who’s only real accomplishment beyond his pretentious writings was outright scamming a lottery). So I’d say he’s definitely evil. Not to mention he helped inspire Karl Marx.
And funny thing is, he himself tried to PUSH absurdities. Abbe Barruell more than exposed this, as did Timothy Dwight.
