Pascal Fervor is the name this author has given
the condition which drives men to advance as God would have us.
Among its traits is the sense in individuality which is strongly at odds
with coercive collectivism. with the desire to nurture its continuance,
celebrate. It's been named, in an honorable reference, for the verve, inquisitiveness,
determination and loyalty that drove the seventeenth century mathematician,
inventor, engineer, thinker, political critic and (many in our time would
have you think this discrediting) deeply spiritual man, Blaise Pascal.
In keeping with the commitment needed for this project, your host has adopted
the name Pascal Fervor. Pray e will be worthy.
Pascal lived less than forty years. Nevertheless, his
genius left a significant impact on the course of history. You will come
to see that when one recalls the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword,"
one could justly consider that the author had in mind someone like Pascal.
We intend to show that Pascal was so effective in the
long run that those who would rule the world today wish he never existed.
Why? Because he spotted their flaws and chose to disclose them. He took
measure of the arrogant and revealed insecurity was their greatest asset;
he scrutinized the self-important and discovered those who hate God; he
exposed their self-importance and disclosed their foolishness; and he mocked
the fearsome because he knew they could face no man who embraced the strength
of character bestowed on them by God. He demonstrated for you what
one man can achieve against overwhelming odds. And how delightfully ironic
that is! As the founder of the rules of probability, I doubt he would have
given himself very good chances going in. He just did it.
Should you be afflicted with this fervor, and there are
many more of you than you are supposed to think, this site is dedicated
to you. That's the point.
When you are low, and think you are cursed, this site
intends to remind you that, in you, the world had also been blessed. May
it sustain you in your travails.
Thank you and welcome.
