this wonderful mentality has many historic roots. perhaps chief among them is what we might call 'ontological anthropology'...who IS Man? is he at root a happenstance of random biological & chemical/electrical processes? OR...is he the most rational & sentient being of God"s creation, "endowed with inalienable Rights..." (as Franklin and the founders woulda argued)???

modern man tries to have it both ways...from opposite sides of his mouth.

but Nietzsche well knew that If God is in fact dead...then so is Man (Humanity) as we have known him...& it drove him Mad. the root of man, in the image of God...flowers a culture of the "scared" unknown to bio-chemical electro happenstance
