A few months back, I began reading through God, Revelation, and authority, Vol. 1 by Carl F.H. Henry and came across this wonderful quote regarding the thinking process of modern/postmodern man.
To escape the shattering emptiness of a life unyielded to the living God he resorts to idolatry in his quest for an unconditioned ultimate that will give direction to his existence and hopefully assure his destiny. His frantic self-striving to invest existence with meaning and security is an idolatrous response to God's revealed purpose for mankind (p.150).

"Why is the land ruined and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? And the LORD says: 'Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them'" (Jer. 9:12-14).
