...is when Man decides that he is God.
Man makes decisions about what is "right" and "wrong" based on situational hypotheticals that seem quite rational, but lead to bizarre, counterproductive results. "God" represents the wisdom of hundreds of generations of our ancestors. Some of it may not be logical and the theology of it may indeed be mumbo-jumbo and nonsense, but to simply cast it aside as illogical and assume that YOU know the truth...is arrogance of a collossal dimension.
This is what I refer to as deciding that you are God, and our President is its primary example in this country. The "belief" is that YOU can make these value judgments, and YOUR choices are more valid than thousands of years of history because you find them more logical and rational.
Take the role of women in society. Traditionally, the woman/wife is the primary nurturer of children and maintains the home. It has been this way from time immemorial, and it follows BIOLOGY perfectly. The woman, after all, BEARS THE CHILDREN, she is physically smaller and weaker than the husband/father, and her strengths are not ideally suited to the tasks that men traditionally assumed (e.g. feeding and housing the family).
But it's not entirely LOGICAL, is it? Women are just as intelligent as men and in many ways they are just as capable. They can be doctors, lawyers, and Indian Chiefs, and who's to say they can't?
But if you ABANDON the paradigm of the family that comes from "God," what are you left with? Unprecedented levels of divorce and child abandonment. Unprecedent materialism. Pathetic, meaningless, transitory relationships between adult men and women. Millions upon millions of neglected, "latchkey" kids playing video games, experimenting with drugs and sex, and becoming assimilated in the amoral world of "Hollywood," while their mothers out out working to earn enough to pay for the (too) big house, the Lexus, and the vacations in Cancun.
The new reality leaves adult women longing for the safety and security of a family in which to bring a child or children into the world, but AFRAID TO SAY IT OUT LOUD, because it conflicts with the mores of "Feminism."
With the advances made in human reproduction, it is possible for a woman to go her entire life, having complete freedom to express her self and her sexuality in any way she wants, with no concerns ever about having a child, and the only relevant question to be answered is this: Are they better off than Harriet Nelson?
