Belief System of the Modern Man

James Engel summarized the belief system and the presuppositions that commonly prevail among what he calls modern man: God, if He exists at all, is just an impersonal moral force. Man basically has the capacity within himself to improve morally and make the right choices. Happiness consists of unlimited material acquisition. There really is no objective basis for right and wrong. The supernatural is just a figment of someone's imagination. If a person lives a "good life," the eternal destiny is assured. The Bible is nothing other than a book written by man.
