Faith Birthday Greetings

Noachismo

The June 8 (20 Prairial) of 1794, one month and twenty days before being killed, Maximilien Robespierre led the party - he wanted - dedicated to the Supreme Being. Floats paraded through the streets of Paris and people, as in the good book says Henri Guillemin political and mystical Robespierre: There was some enthusiasm (there was a widespread belief that the "Party of God" would have closed the time of the Terror), was burned a large papier-mache puppet representative of atheism, bouquets of roses, daisies and lilies were visited by Members of the House, choirs sang the hymn to the Supreme Being, that - while rising to the universal God - including references to God 's Israel, and Luther and Calvin as the precursors of true religion. It was the first party theist in the history of humanity and therefore, even if it was not followed, it remains an event of extraordinary importance. He had been preceded by the speech The relationship of moral and religious ideas with republican ideas , May 7, from which shone his conviction that the Revolution should be the instrument for a historical spiritual regeneration.
Speaking at the Festival of the Supreme Being, Robespierre spoke out against superstition and the clergy who, in his view, society subjugated to the "tyrants." Then he said that God created human beings because they help each other and achieve happiness through virtue. " Liberty and virtue together came from the bosom of the Godhead" , proclaimed the 'Incorruptible , advocating and generosity towards the good, compassion for the unfortunate, inflexibility against the evil and justice towards all. Other basic concepts came from his lips: that justice is a worship to God, while the false prayer dictated by self-interest, he is insulting, that dignity is an endowment designed to divine every man, every good thing that God manifests himself or his work, which in God and the thought of immortality is supported by the fleeting life of man.
In a speech earlier in February, Robespierre had said: "We hope an order of things where the low and cruel passions are enchained, and that healthy and generous awakened by the laws ... We hope that in our nation's morality replace egoism, probity false honor, principles sostituiscno uses, the duties of good manners, the empire of reason to replace the tyranny of fashion, contempt of vice that hex, the 'pride, insolence, magnanimity vanity, love of glory than the money ... on the intrigue ... In the French Revolution what is immoral is impolitic. "Maximilien Robespierre was too
in history, allowing the brutality of this contamination its voltage to transcendence. He had some of the faults in the conduct of the revolutionary process, particularly in relation to people (including if its identification outright, with terrorism, is discussed in terms storioco), but there is no doubt his good faith, his concern for the poorest sections of the French people and its coherence: even at the height of power, the 'Incorruptible lived in a sober, living in the house of a poor family in Paris. In his testimony, therefore, Noahides traces can be seen that the rest can be found in milder Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the French reformer active several decades after the death of Robespierre, who The Justice dans la Revolution et dans l'Eglise Justice called the "god of consciousness," " reality Supreme "," supreme principle "and wrote, almost as catechesis:

" - What is Justice?
- The essence of humanity.
- What was the Justice so far, from the beginning of the world?
- Almost nothing
- What should be?
- More ... "
