The very nature of human consciousness civilization is ontological. But see how irrational is man in his protagonism to God - as though somehow Truth would require defense from an apparent adversary.
A consciousness whose very structure is antagonistic could never realistically be an advocate of Truth.
Man ends up defending his totally meaningless ideas (idols) until he brings about his totally meaningless annihilation.
The Truth of the matter is that every apparent individual on earth simply defends his own backside and more particularly other backsides with whom he is in temporary, limited association.
