Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities

Rachel Reeves is a Member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom.  She holds the office of the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

On a British news channel, she was asked the following question:

Is it transphobic to say that only women have a cervix?

Chancellor Reeves has great difficulty answering this question.  Please view for yourself at the following link:


The title of this post is a quotation from Voltaire’s ‘Questions sur les miracles’ (1765).  Voltaire continued with this warning: "If you do not use the intelligence with which God endowed your mind to resist believing impossibilities, you will not be able to use the sense of injustice which God planted in your heart to resist a command to do evil. Once a single faculty of your soul has been tyrannized, all the other faculties will submit to the same fate."

Reject the absurdities of tyrants.  Do not let tyrants capture your heart and soul.  Do not become a participant in atrocities.
