The Psalmist said the heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims He handiwork, while when we were created in Genesis, we were created in God’s image. We were created for relationship, male and female, so we could have relationship with God and each other.
In a universe created by love, out of love was it all made. The thing about love is that it is a relationship, and in order for it to be real, it has to be freely given and received. Authentic love cannot be forced, demanded, since it must pure to be real anything short of that isn’t real love. So as the fall occurred there was a break between God and man, and man with each other. God through our rebellion has been long suffering with us bearing all things and enduring all the things we do.
We can from time to time hear about a crime one us does to another, one group does to another and we are shocked and dismayed. While God sees all of our crimes, even those we just allow our imaginations or dream about. Putting up with our crimes His long suffering is done because of His love for us, not because we so special, because He loves us.
So the work of God with us has turn us into something other than our fallen nature can produce. We are born with a sinful nature, this nature cannot be altered by us, only by God. To suggest we can be righteous without God in our lives is saying God has to accept us as we are without Him, it will never due. We have no idea what real love is in our fallen state, at best we can make ourselves look good by putting on our religious faces, our church faces, and pretend to be something we are not. Making the outside look good, while the inside is as corrupt as ever, we need our nature change for our transformation to be real. The can only be done by our designer, our creator, by the God of Heaven and earth entering into our lives, literally.
John 7 English Standard Version (ESV)
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

1 Peter 1:6-8 English Standard Version (ESV)
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
In Christ we put our trust, our faith is in Him, He is faithful, so that through it all He never leaves us or forsakes us. All the cares and pleasures of this life are nothing compared Him, they may choke the life out of some, but to those who abide with Christ, those that over come with Him, we have a joy before us, and in us now.
Luke 8
And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.

Why do you ask him for "original thoughts" directly after reading some from him?
Are you so little that you must look to attacking Christians to make yourself feel bigger or better?
What did Jesus say about humility?
7 When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: 8 “When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? 9 The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!
10 “Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. 11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” -- Luke 14:7-11, NLT
