Rousseau's "kindness" was fully manifested in the French Revolution. The imaginary kindness of Rousseau's natural man became manifested itself as a demon during the reign of terror. The nobility of natural man fly the coup when Cain slew Able. The nobility of man is a fairy tale of pagan rationalism. I travelled the path of pagan "rationalism" and experienced its glories and ecstasies. They are mere delusions and never address the eternal consciousness man. Pagan "rationalism" is nothing but man attempting to gain glory and immortality through the praise and backslapping of other men. Pagan "rationalism" never deals with the debilitating darkness of man's sin and incompleteness. If man is only matter, how is that his dreams penetrate beyond the physical universe? Why does man have a sixth sense that points and continuously suggests the eternity of his soul--life beyond his physical being? I've traveled your road and found a locked door at the end. Its rationalism was ultimately irrational, and its promises empty. The road of Christ, on the other hand, leads to an ever greater joy, righteouness and peace. It promises life and gives you life! It promises righteousness and gives you righteousness! It promises reality and rationalism and gives you reality and rationalism! Jesus is your creator and His death on the Cross completes your creation through faith. There is more power in the Cross of Christ than all human effort combined. To tap into this power you simply need a humble and contrite heart. It's strange that those who are wise in their own conceit refuse with an anti-scientific fervor to ever test this simple hypothesis of joy and life. I travelled your road and found it wanting. Why not try the road of Jesus, it lead to righteousness, peace, joy and eternal life? If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God had raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
