Argument: The primary cause of the super-grand majority of destructive acts and situations experienced by human beings throughout history is humanity itself rather than any deity or other factor.

This writing offers a compelling case in favor of such an argument and an equally compelling indictment against the many choices gone awry that people have made since the dawn of creation and continue to make to this day which result in the destruction that, without much thought, and mistakenly, we so often project onto God.

The subject of this writing is not God or religion, but you and me. The author shows convincingly and with specificity that we humans ourselves are and have always been our own worst enemy, and that we alone have inflicted and continue to inflict the most robust, cruel, and imaginative damage against each other and ourselves. We. Not any God. Not nature. Not the universe. Not life. Not happenstance. Not other.

Yet even with this an important message of hope weaves its way into the narrative and will become more than obvious by the end of the read.
