Interesting Quote from Voltaire

[Ingrid Benson]

Hi everyone,

French philosopher Voltaire was known for his rabid anti-Jews views. However, here is an interesting quote attributed to him I am translating for you from the French Aish section:

The king of France was asking Voltaire to give him in one word a proof of the existence of God. Voltaire's response: "Yes, Sire,The Jews." The king was surprised and asked for an explanation, to which Voltaire answered: "Sire, is it possible that a people so small, so scattered, so persecuted and so hated could still be alive if it was not by the will of God?"

My first reaction when reading the quote...wow...so amazing, it makes (or at least should) even someone so anti-Jewish think.

BEAUTIFUL, thank You Father, for Your never ending mercies, which I am not deserving of.
