If we go back to the beginnings of things, we shall always find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that imagination, rapture and deception embellished them; that weakness worships them; that custom spares them; and that tyranny favors them in order to profit from the blindness of men.
~ Paul-Hernia, baron d’Holbach (born: 1723-12-08 died: 1789-01-21 at age: 65)
