Worship the man

Ancient men worshiped by giving gifts to the gods.

Modern humanitarians worship by giving gifts to men.

It’s as if everyone thinks that true worship is the worship of man. It’s as if everyone is somehow knows that there is a man on the throne of heaven, even people who don’t believe in heaven anymore.

No ascension, no humanitarianism. Humanitarianism is haunted by Christology.
