Page 122, 2nd from last paragraph, “…Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious sexual predator and cannibal, stated in an interview, “If it all happens naturalistically, what’s the need for a God? Can’t I set my own rules? Who owns me? I own myself.”…”
This is where evolution and atheism take you, to the edge of insanity and over.

When you are with someone for a long time, you take on some of their traits. If they hate themselves, they begin to hate you because you are a mirror of the things in themselves that they don’t like.

I’m really rotten. When I am weary, people can catch a whiff of the corpse that is with me. I can try to perfume my corpse and cover it with ornate raiment, but that stench permeates and exudes forth in my futile efforts to conceal my corruption. It might not be evident to all, but it is ever before me, haunting my conscience with the knowledge of all I’ve done wrong and failed to do good. Only the continual washing of grace can cleanse the festering corruption. One day that rotten body of death will no longer be with me. I will be glorified in Heaven with God. I will be finally free from sin in all of its forms. By the obedient loving work of Jesus on the cross and the Holy Spirit in my regeneration in accordance with the Fathers will, I will know what it is to be free from sins corruption for all eternity, an ageless age! O how I love Jesus! Praise His name! The one who saves the hopeless and gives victory over sin!
