God created us for relationship with Him, dependence on Him, and rich, full relationships with each other in an environment that didn’t constantly fight back. We haven’t lost the sense of how things ought to be, but we’ve certainly lost the experience of it.

Everyone throughout history has been striving for that unattainable utopia: Heaven on earth. Everyone has a sense that life should be carried out a certain way - a way other than many are presently carrying it out. Collectively, we know where we should be going, but we have no idea how to get there by our own effort. By our own efforts, we truly are lost and will remain so.

Those that think we can save ourselves suffer from The Humanity Delusion.

“You don’t believe in God, but you believe in man? There is even less justification for believing in the latter than for believing in the former.”
