: The threat to humanity isn't anarchy -- it's the attempt to hot-wire morality by turning the responsibility for moral decision making over to mortal human beings, setting them up as demi-gods to be worshipped, and handing them the tools with which to destroy the human race.

Human beings have always defined their own morality. They invented gods so that they didn't have to resort to the 'Because I say so' line of argument.
