Thanks, Aquinasfan.

Instead he assures you that at the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.

I used to consider this statement laughably stupid. As I matured in understanding of Christianity vs. secularism, I began to conclude that this statement was supremely dangerous, and represented man's attempt to put himslef in God's place, in effect rebuilding the Tower of Babel.

No doubt about that. But it's hard to know whether the judges are evil, confused or both. Certainly, opinions like this are confused. I spent my college years like this, and they were the worst years of my life. The thought of handing down judgments in that state of mind is frightening, to say the least.
