one; and

I believe that many such facts have not been noticed till now, which is

evidence of the natural disinterestedness with which the thing has been

done.

 

799. An artisan who speaks of wealth, a lawyer who speaks of war, of

royalty, etc.; but the rich man rightly speaks of wealth, a king speaks

indifferently of a great gift he has just made, and God rightly speaks of

God.

 

800. Who has taught the evangelists the qualities of a perfectly heroic

soul, that they paint it so perfectly in Jesus Christ? Why do they make Him

weak in His agony? Do they not know how to paint a resolute death? Yes, for

the same Saint Luke paints the death of Saint Stephen as braver than that of

Jesus Christ.

 

They make Him, therefore, capable of fear, before the necessity of dying has

come, and then altogether brave.

 

But when they make Him so troubled, it is when He afflicts Himself; and when

men afflict Him, He is altogether strong.

 

801. Proof of Jesus Christ.--The supposition that the apostles were

impostors is very absurd. Let us think it out. Let us imagine those twelve

men, assembled after the death of Jesus Christ, plotting to say that He was

risen. By this they attack all the powers. The heart of man is strangely

inclined to fickleness, to change, to promises, to gain. However little any

of them might have been led astray by all these attractions, nay more, by

the fear of prisons, tortures, and death, they were lost. Let us follow up

this thought.

 

802. The apostles were either deceived or deceivers. Either supposition has

difficulties; for it is not possible to mistake a man raised from the

dead...

 

While Jesus Christ was with them, He could sustain them. But, after that, if

He did not appear to them, who inspired them to act?

 

SECTION XIII: THE MIRACLES

 

803. The beginning.--Miracles enable us to judge of doctrine, and doctrine

enables us to judge of miracles.

all this appears to us mysterious, and yet

it is material like the blow of a stone. It is true that the smallness of

the spirits which enter into the pores touches other nerves, but there are

always some nerves touched.

 

369. Memory is necessary for all the operations of reason.

 

370. Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep

or acquire them.

 

A thought has escaped me. I wanted to write it down. I write instead that it

has escaped me.

 

371. When I was small, I hugged my book; and because it sometimes happened

to me to... in believing I hugged it, I doubted....

 

372. In writing down my thought, it sometimes escapes me; but this makes me

remember my weakness, that I constantly forget. This is as instructive to me

as my forgotten thought; for I strive only to know my nothingness.

 

373. Scepticism.--I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not

perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always

indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my

subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is

incapable of it.

 

374. What astonishes me most is to see that all the world is not astonished

at its own weakness. Men act seriously, and each follows his own mode of

life, not because it is in fact good to follow since it is the custom, but

as if each man knew certainly where reason and justice are. They find

themselves continually deceived, and, by a comical humility, think it is

their own fault and not that of the art which they claim always to possess.

But it is well there are so many s

Who do you think is running the bot? Religious nutcases, that's who!

Do you think that bots make up religious writings and post to Usenet

groups by themselves? Somebody is controlling the robot, someone is

instructing the program, someone wrote the contents of the message and

someone instructed the program to spoof addresses and post multiple

posts to multiple newsgroups! Who do you think did that? Martians?

Religious crackpots, zealots, that's who instructed the bots to do the

brought to forsake and

dread their former vices and extravagances. When once the Spirit of God

began to be so wonderfully poured out in a general way through the town,

people had soon done with their old quarrels, backbitings, and

intermeddling with other men's matters. The tavern was soon left empty,

and persons kept very much at home; none went abroad unless on necessary

business, or on some religious account, and every day seemed in many

respects like a Sabbath-day. The other effect was, that it put them on

earnest application to the means of salvation, reading, prayer,

meditation, the ordinances of God's house, and private conference; their

cry was, What shall we do to be saved? The place of resort was now

altered, it was no longer the tavern, but the minister's house that was

thronged far more than ever the tavern had been wont to be.

 

There is a very great variety, as to the degree of fear and trouble that

persons are exercised with, before they attain any comfortable evidences

of pardon and acceptance with God. Some are from the beginning carried

on with abundantly more encouragement and hope than others. Some have

had ten times less trouble of mind than others, in whom yet the issue

seems to be the same. Some have had such a sense of the displeasure of

God, and
