Voltaire once said "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." is it still the case?

God does not joke about our salvation,this quip from Voltaire was a reflection of his own inner emptiness and he ended his wretched life mentally inbalanced, it is recorded that when Lenin died those within ear shot heard the most horrible howling coming from his room.

There is actual proof, that when scientists and great, so-called poets, when they die, refusing to admit the authority of God, they die a very terrible death. Just like in France, Voltaire at the end of his life, because his whole writings and existence he tried to disprove the existence of God, he went insane, and he was eating his own stool and urine. And a priest came to him and said, "Why don't you accept the existence of God? You have become such great poet." He said, "I will never accept the existence of God." But he became to the point where he was eating his own stool and urine.

More like playing to a blind and deaf audience.
