“You assume that you have at last found the true philosophy. How do you know that your philosophy is the best of all those which have been taught in the world, are now taught, or shall be taught hereafter? To say nothing of what may be devised in the future. Have you examined all those philosophies, both ancient and modern, which are taught here, in India, and all the world over? And even supposing that you have duly examined them, how do you know that you have chosen the best? … How dare you set yourself up above all the patriarchs, prophets, apostles, martyrs, doctors, and confessors of the Church? Miserable man and worm upon the earth you are, yea, ashes and food for worms, how can you, confront the eternal wisdom with your unspeakable blasphemy? What foundation have you for this rash, insane, deplorable, accursed doctrine? What devilish pride puffs you up to pass judgment on mysteries which Catholics themselves declare to be incomprehensible? Etc., etc.” – ALBERT BURGH

Note that the TELLYOUWHAT in quotes above is from the book “The Story of Philosophy” by Will Durant in a chapter on philosopher SPINOZA. The quote is attributed to an ALBERT BURGH, a former pupil of philosopher SPINOZA. The context was that philosopher SPINOZA was being chastised for his atheistic views by ALBERT BURGH who had been converted to Catholicism.
