Further, we want to talk about pagans, well, what are atheists and secular humanists? Worshippers of themselves, or of “mankind” in general. Seriously, if you ever want a laugh, read the humanist manifestos. They are hilarious in their exaltation of the goodness and perfectibility of man. That’s what makes people like Jimmie’s complaints about the Amalekites and all that all the more laughable.

This is true, and as man will always worship something/someone, it easily fosters “political religion,” such as under Mao and Pol Pot, in which the objectively baseless moral reasoning of atheism easily allow it to justify atrocities that are equal to or worse than under false religion, which exalts another authority above the Scriptures (and which explains things from Islamic conquests to the Inquisition and even the Utah War).

I know. We've even tried the perfectibility of women (via plastic surgery) and achieved verisimilitude; but not for long.

Short term plastic surgery (successful):

Long term plastic surgery FAIL:
