"The natural operation of human reason, unchecked by the Bible, only leads to error and vanity."
We reasoned possibly better prior to the bible, who’s faith had the desire to stop us thinking and let god do it for us. Thereafter god didn’t do it for us and we turned one again to reason; science and philosophy.
There is only ‘the natural operation of human reason’, one book or another can be no more than a part of that. In this case one that un-check’s its progress.

righteousness itself is divisive.

The only question is who has been presuming and lying about what.

From THIS age of sleep, Homo-sapien shall never awake.
The Wise gather together to help one another in EVERY aspect of living.
You are always more insecure than you think, just not by what you think.
The only absolute certainty is formed by the absolute lack of alternatives.
It is not merely "do what works", but "to accomplish what purpose in what time frame at what cost".
As long as the authority is secretive, the population will be subjugated.
Gain is obtained by giving a lot and keeping a little.
Those who too ardently seek to be seen as correct, see only correctness in themselves.
The Social Paradox - to be well grounded and soundly harmonious, one must rise above the dirt and noise.
The One God ≡ The reason/cause for the Universe being what it is = "The situation cannot be what it is and also remain as it is".

Well, both reason and reasoning using the Bible seem quite capable of leading to atrocity and on the way error and vanity as early stops on the ride.WW_III_ANGRY wrote:"The natural operation of human reason, unchecked by the Bible, only leads to error and vanity."

I don't know what the 'natural operation' of reason is, but this fits with Christianity's judgments of nature.
Would then reason that is checked by the Bible be unnatural reason?
