Today I read a passage about a scene that supposedly took place during Voltaire's final days. While Voltaire was on his deathbed a priest came to try to get a final confession out of him and to see if, on his deathbed, he would renounce his atheism. So he asked Voltaire if he would finally "renounce the devil," to which Voltaire supposedly replied "Father, now is not the time to make new enemies." :D I knew there was a reason I always loved Voltaire...well...beyond, you know, just about everything he ever wrote :p
