Celebrant: arrived at this fatal moment, when the veil of illusion that does not tear the man to leave the table cruel seduces his errors and his vices, do you not repent , my child, disorders multiplied where you took away the weakness and human frailty? The moribund : Yes, my friend, I repent.
Celebrant: Well, enjoy these happy remorse for the sky, in the short interval that you have left, general absolution for your sins, and remember that it is only through the mediation of the holy Sacrament penance that it will be possible to obtain eternal. The moribund
: I can not hear more than you understand me.
Celebrant: What! The moribund
: I told you I was sorry.
Celebrant: I heard. The moribund
: Yes, but without understanding.
Celebrant: What interpretation? ... The moribund
: The here ... Created by nature with very sharp taste, with very strong passions; only placed in this world for me to deliver and to meet them, and these effects of my creation being only on the necessities first views of nature or, if you love best, only dérivaisons essential to his plans for me, all because of its laws, I am sorry that n have not quite found his omnipotence, and my only remorse relate only to the mediocre use I made of the faculties (criminal you think simple to me) she had given me to serve, I sometimes resisted him, I repent. Blinded by the absurdity of your systems, I fought with them all the violence of desire, I had received an inspiration more divine, and I repent, I have reaped only flowers when I could make a large crop of fruit ... Those are just reasons of my regrets, believe me not me not enough to assume others.
Celebrant: Where you lead your mistakes, where you lead your sophistries! You lend the thing created all the power of the creator, and these unfortunate tendencies you have lost - you do not see that they are only the effects of this corrupt nature, to which you attribute omnipotence. The moribund
: Ami - it seems to me that your dialectic is as false as your mind. I want you more just reasonable, or that you do not let me die in peace. What do you mean by Creator, and what do you mean by corrupted nature?

Celebrant: The creator is the master of the universe, he has done everything created, and which retains a simple fact of his omnipotence. The moribund
: This is a great man indeed. Well, tell me why this man is so powerful you think has yet made a nature so corrupt.
Celebrant: What merit had been men, God would not let them do their free will, and what merit they would have to enjoy it if there ever was on earth the opportunity to do good and the need to avoid evil? The moribund
: So your god wanted to do everything wrong to tempt or test his creature, he does not know, he does not doubt the outcome?

: So your god wanted to do everything wrong to tempt or test his creature, he does not know, he does not doubt the outcome?
Celebrant: He probably knew, but suddenly he wanted to give him credit for the choice. The moribund
: What good, when he knew it would take the party and it was up to him, since you say all-powerful, that it was up to him, I say, make him take the good.
Celebrant: Who can understand the immense and endless views of God and man can understand everything we see? The moribund
: Whoever makes things simple, my friend, especially one that does not multiply causes, to better confuse their effects. What did you need a second difficulty, when you can not explain the first, and once it is possible that nature alone has done what you attribute to your god, why would you pick him a master? The cause of what you do not understand, is perhaps the thing in the world easier. Improves your physical and you will understand better the nature, purifies your reason, banish your prejudices and you will not need your god.
