If man would have written the Bible, it would have been written all about himself. Popular media, music and even gym names are all about the individual. If you listen to music today, the only thing you will hear is me, myself and I. This is evil, man was not created to worship himself.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaiah 14

I would rather look upon death than a man so unwise as to be in love with himself.
