Re: Schöning, first impressions

Seriously, the more I learn about Fritz' pretty hussars (Schöning excepted), the more I realise he and Heinrich had even more in common than I had thought. :)

Also: Deist, not Atheist. Fritz and Voltaire believed there was a God who started everything, just that the world and its people then were left to their own devices, basically. (BTW, I seem to recall some of the US Founding Fathers were Deists, too, notably Jefferson, which makes all the super Christianity of the US thereafter allied to a cult of the Founders super ironic.)
