Humankind's Denial and Double Standard With God




When we exercise our autonomy (self-rule),

     and things go well for us,


We conclude God had nothing to do with it.


     God is therefore, irrelevant.


When we exercise our autonomy, 


     and things go poorly for  us,


We conclude God is to blame.


     God is therefore, irrelevant.


When the "self" rules, no "self" is ever safe.


     The problem is, and has always been, 


Our (fallen) human autonomy.
