When Voltaire died, his doctor said he would never again attend the death of a non believer. It was not a pretty site. Cursing, and screaming--
"In his last illness he sent for Dr. Tronchin. When the Doctor came, he found Voltaire in the greatest agony, exclaiming with the utmost horror -- "I am abandoned by God and man." He then said, "Doctor, I will give you half of what I am worth, if you will give me six months' life." The doctor answered, "Sir, you cannot live six weeks." Voltaire replied, "Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me!" and soon after expired."
Christians never seem to tire of making up or repeating lies about what Voltaire said on his death bed. Y'all are a truly despicable bunch, to libel the dead.
I've never heard a dying man call out to Darwin while in the clutches of death; nor Buddha, Mohammed, Brahma, Vishnu, Lucifer or Shiva.
