I think Jesus is a metaphor in this, for someone else, and i think he takes the way people see and believe of Jesus and uses it for his own experiences.
EVERYONE WHO DOSEN'T BELEIVE IN GOD CHECK OUT MY PLAYLIST GOD AND GODZILLAAAAAAAAAA IF YOUR NOT CONVINCED THAT HE'S REAL BY THAT THAN YOU'LL NEVER BE SAVED!
me as a person believing that 1) Jesus Christ is a man (probably the best man who ever lived but not the son of god) and weather he did talk to god and know what was going to happen to him, the point is he died for a cause anyone who has the strength not only to die but be tortured for a cause deserves praise no matter what you believe
@urdum1b Isn't he just so human? He's great to talk to. I love him very much. He's got a special place in my heart, always and forever, no matter what. Can't WAIT for dragon con this year.
@Voltairefan76 Actually, he doesn't have the password for the voltairenyc site. This is the official site, run by his manager. But yes. If he hears some of them he does laugh. Mostly at his stalkers though. He doesn't understand why people like him so much.
i take it as the first few stansas are by like Pilot or the pharases. then the last one is Jesus. the first one is moking while the last one ist mornful like hes asking the ppl if anything he did helped them. and in the end it helped.
@CrimzonRegret Ah, I hate it when people confuse the two people. I know people who know this one or that one, not both. And I am often found confusing them when I say Voltaire's book or Voltaire's song was good... because they either know the writer or the singer. Very annoying.
@KyoMao Lol, I always have to say "a signer named Voltaire" when I talk about him, cause everyone at school knows the philosopher (well, they probably don't remember, but we talked about him in secondary 2)
Well, I'm probably getting this wrong, but it sounds like Jesus not wanting to fulfill the path laid out for him by God. It seems that he is talking to God asking why he had to go through such pain.
@PyroPrincess33 well, it is a little off. He knew what was going to happen to him, and because he heard it from god, therefor he knew it was willed to happen, and accepted it
@CrimzonRegret Well he and god version of god both loved us as his children. I'm sure that he considered it worth it in the long run even though we don't deserve what they gave us.
@TheShortGirl666 I wouldn't "pity" him. Thats kind of harsh. he knew it, and accepted it. If he didn't want to die, he would have left that place, but he didnt.
@CrimzonRegret ok I don't want to start an argument, but i feel it necessary to point this out. Jesus did ask god to remove the burden from him so that he wouldn't be crucified. A lot of people ignore that part of the bible. He was human with human doubts and fears and pain. It's what he did differently than the rest of mankind that matters. He sacrificed himself so we could be forgiven but that doesn't mean he didn't have doubts or wasn't afraid or wanted to die
@CrimzonRegret fate guides the willing and drags the unwilling, i think he was dragged to his doom. hence "father why have you forsaken me?" its somewhat similar to a Greek tragedy
@TheShortGirl666 He really wouldn't have preferred to be crucified. He was human and he felt all the pain inflicted on him. In the Garden, the night before he is crucified, he basically says to God, "Is there any other way?" and the answer is no.

@CrimzonRegret welll, what happened happend. let's just leave it to when we ask him how bout that. we hardly know much, and the other side will tell all
@PyroPrincess33 It's definatly interpretable that way, so I wont say you're wrong entirely, But I think it's more about a relationship going to hell, and the guy still having feelings about the girl, and not wanting to believe that they are over
well actually he was just reffering you wrote "21th" instead of 21st as its Twenty First. not Twenty firstth. so it should really be thumbed down cus of that and for the end of this.
I fucking love every single of voltaires songs and i will always love his music because such good music at this will never be hated by the ones that can understand them <3
I believe you are correct, for The Original Voltaire (whom this one is named after) was a philosopher, and Aurelio (This one) is awesome as awesome can be, he's letting me interveiw him for my career paper!, he's awesome
But that is where you are decidedly wrong. Candide is more that of a more serious bildungsroman or picaresque novel. It parodies many adventure and romance clichés. Candide struggles with the concept of evil in this short novella most humorously . Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory, especially the mere concept of Leibnizian optimism.
Voltaire [Francois-Marie Arouet] penned his famous excuriating satire, Candide (1759), wherein he lambastes and parodies the optimism (Leibnizian Optimism) of fellow contemporary philosopher, Gottefried Leibniz. It was his magnum opus.
Voltaire was a monarchist and despised the people. For that he deserves appraissal. Voltaire was also an pompous boaster and a mountebank. For that he deserves condemnation.
SO WRONG!!!! i did a paper about him, he was a enlightment thinker, he believed a monarch was neccesary but he had to do things in favour of the people !
You realize that still makes him a monarchist, right? I mean, he had a lot of good ideas, and he was a great philosopher. But he still touted the idea of the enlightened monarchy.
He was also a writer thus short hand is what this guy calls "an enlightenment writer" I think the word enlightenment speaks of philosophy in itself no need to be specific but if you truthful want to be specific he was a enlightenment philosopher (thinker) and one of the most controversial authors in the 18th century. He was a theist above all. Being a theist is what lead him into his writings and thinks.
I think Jesus is a metaphor in this, for someone else, and i think he takes the way people see and believe of Jesus and uses it for his own experiences.
