You are a unique individual, created in the image of God. You are not merely the manner in which you were born. You are not merely a member of some larger tribe, like the hive mind collectivists would have you believe. Nor are you nothing more than a nameless, faceless input to some giant communal machine, like the Marxists would suggest.
Your birthright is not to revert to the stone ages and await the apocalyptic asteroid that will bring an end to your existence, rather, it is to spread your seed amongst the stars.
You were created to know God, and to have a unique identity that is manifested through your relationship with the Divine.
If you do not believe in God, he still believes in you.
If you do not choose God, he still chose you, centuries before you were even born.
