Nothing happens by blind chance. - Immanuel Kant

Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor!

things which as effects presuppose others as causes cannot be reciprocally at the same time causes of these.

The main point of enlightenment is man's release from his self-caused immaturity, primarily in matters of religion.
