Autonomy

According to my good friend, a poet, a pastor, and a creative writer," We live in a culture that systematically encourages us to be autonomous.
It is in media.
It is the law of advertising.Walker Percy says, "The 20th century is the century of the self."
The autonomous self is the most dangerous thing imaginable. The autonomous self leads to both personal and social disintegration."

Sin leads to personal disitegration.
Autonomy leads to death.
Sin is a self inflicted attack on our true humanness.Self directed freedom is actually self anihilating.
We think the way to self fulfillment is through self assertion.
Autonomy leads to self disintegration. This is what the Bible says."
