Common Sense

Common Sense is a philosophical work written by Jean Meslier, a French Catholic priest during the 18th century. The book is considered to be a radical and controversial text, as it challenges the existence of God and the validity of religion. Meslier argues that religion is a tool used by those in power to control and manipulate the masses, and that it is based on superstition and ignorance rather than reason and logic. He also critiques the concept of an afterlife and the idea of divine punishment, stating that they are used to instill fear and obedience in people. Meslier's arguments are supported by numerous quotes from the Bible and other religious texts, as well as historical examples of religious conflict and corruption. Despite being written over 300 years ago, Common Sense remains a thought-provoking and relevant work that challenges the status quo of religious belief.THIS 290 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Superstition in All Ages, by Jean Meslier.
