Candide Religion

"Ecrasons l'infame" which is interpreted as "We must crush this bad thing". This is what Voltaire used to express his feelings about organized religion. As soon as many monsters followed his way, Voltaire expressed his hatred of culture and religion and chose the universal god of nature. In the coming century, Darwin will announce Voltaire's scientific theory to support the desire for atheism. But without other theories, the French wise men of the 18th century were obliged to use creationism to explain the beauty and organization of the world.

(The hypocrisy of religious attacks on religion, especially the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church, is a thematic iteration theme in Candide, but other religions - Protestantism, Judaism, Islam - are also plagued by Voltaire's testimony. Outrage to various forms of fanaticism and intolerance and he cruelly exposed the cruelty made under the name of God Other people recognized Voltaire as a legitimate religion itself I believe that it will reveal the abuse of religion without denying sex.

Voltaire's novel Candide contains a lot of things. This includes ridiculeing the beliefs of philosophers who conflict during enlightenment. But perhaps the most powerful satiric work in his novel is religion. Voltaire believed in God, but strong opposition to religion. He does not say how to believe God through religious officials, but I believe that everyone should serve God in their own way. The first example where Voltaire removes religion is after Candid leaves the castle.

One of Candide 's main dilemmas is an optimistic and pessimistic worldview. The optimistic view towards the world is related to Voltaire's criticism of Christianity throughout the story. Voltaire bore religion through a series of corrupt, hypocritical religious leaders, but he does not condemn daily religious believers. Candide grew up under the guidance of Pangloss, I thought this was the best world and I thought things were due to natural reasons. This Pangloss 's view is an optimistic view on the Christian - based world, the problem of the late Candid' s story, to Pangloss, "Things can not be realized because everything is the best" (Voltaire, 35). However, as Candid experienced many horrible events such as whiplash, rape, robbery, unjust enforcement, illness, earthquake, betrayal, he questioned the belief in optimism.
