Quoted By:
To those who believe human society can ever be perfected by any means, whether communism or libertarianism or fascism or any other political ideology. Man is flawed in his essence. There is no hope of a good society in this fallen world. We can make things better, but that is meliorism: the belief that utopia is impossible and we must just try to alleviate suffering until we die.
Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the LORD. Jer 17:5
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD. Jer 17:7
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings. Jer 17:9-10
