Your Religion Was Built on Hallucinations | Voltaire Wasn’t Fooled

Описание: Voltaire just watched your favorite saint hallucinate a chicken and get canonized — and he’s not impressed.

In this brutal breakdown of the “Apparitions” entry from Voltaire’s Philosophical Dictionary (Fleming translation), we walk through centuries of divine visions, ghost stories, and supernatural nonsense — and expose them for what they are: trauma, fever dreams, and theological theater.

From St. Catherine of Siena’s ghost wedding to souls getting whipped in demon boats, from floating rugs to chicken-based grace, this video unpacks how the Church turned hallucinations into doctrine — and how Voltaire calmly tore it all down.
