==Nimrodian Consequences==

The sheer ruthlessness of post-Christian social [[idealism]] arises from the very same concept of [[freedom]] that we are at liberty to make ourselves, without [[divine]] standard to which the uses of freedom are bound, what we wish to be. The ambition to refashion [[humanity]] in its very essence — social, political, economic, moral, psychological — was inconceivable when human beings were regarded as creatures of God. But with disappearance of God's authority, it becomes possible to will a human future conformed to whatever ideals we choose to embrace. All the grand [[utopia]]n projects of the modern age that have directly or indirectly spilled oceans of human blood — the savagery of triumphant [[Jacobins|Jacobinism]], the clinical heartlessness of [[socialist]] [[eugenics]], the [[Nazi]] movement, [[Stalinism]] — were results of nimrodian "[[Enlightenment]]" myth of liberation leading also to the vulgarity of late capitalist consumerism and the pettiness of bourgeois [[individualism]]. The most pitilessly and self-righteously violent regimes of modern [[history]] have been those that have most explicitly cast off the [[Christian]] vision of [[reality]] and sought to replace it with a more "[[humanism|human]]" set of values.<ref>{{cite book |title=Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies |author=David Bentley Hart |publsiher=Yale University Press |place=New Haven and London |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-300-16429-9 |pages=107 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=UK5PsFYBXFUC |quote=}}</ref>
