NEO-PAGANISM: TURNING FROM THE LIGHT BACK INTO THE DARKNESS
"The
strain of modern Humanism which comes down through
Feuerbach, Marx, and Nietzsche can be called
Promethean Humanism, after the figure in Greek
mythology who stole fire from the gods and gave it to
man...As Nietzsche saw clearly, it was not only a
matter of not believing in God, once God had been
denied, man could achieve true freedom only by
denying all moral constraints on himself and
inventing his own morality. The human will alone will
become sovereign. James
Hitchcock, What is Secular Humanism.
But a
culture that is comprised of countless wills that
believe they are sovereign breeds chaos-- unless the
populace succumbs to the tyranny of one man's will.
Either way man's invented morality can never compete
with God's sovereign absolute truths. Thus it is easy
to see how neo-paganism is capable of destroying
civilization as we know it.
"Lo!
thy dread Empire, Chaos! is restor'd; Light dies
before thy uncreating word: Thy hand, great Anarch!
lets the curtain fall; And Universal Darkness buries
All." Alexander
Pope
