The first part of this statement, before the semicolon, is ABSOLUTELY true. The second part (after the semicolon) is a false premise. TRUE religion does NOT originate from (human) reason. Rather, it is the Word and the Will of a (THE) Supreme Creator and Author of Law. Man did not "create" God (or, the "gods"), in FACT, GOD created man!

Truth is the Word and the Will of God. Liberty (of man) is the WILL of God. Tyranny (the rule of man over man) is a--THE--false premise! The "reason" of man tells him that HE is "number one;" i.e., that he "deserves" to rule over others.

Absent God--or at the very least, the Rule of LAW--there is ONLY tyranny!
