God bears a gavel in his hand, while four men stand before him. It is judgement day and the four pillars of humanity, manifested in these men, stand before the Almighty, awaiting judgement.
Speak! God declares, Make your cases now and I will determine whether you belong in heaven or hell.
The first man steps forward. He is a serene man with an old, wrinkled face. He keeps his eyes shut and his head bowed. His voice is full of reverence and peace. I am Human Spirituality. I have promoted order and virtue amongst mankind. My influence is inspiration, dignity, brotherhood and understanding.
The second man steps forward. He possesses a massive cranium and bright, piercing eyes. His speech is plain, but passionate. Fast, but thoughtful. I am Human Ingenuity. Through my logic mankind has ascended to great heights. I impart onto man a thirst for knowledge and the ability for rational thought.
The third man steps forward. He has rippling muscles, a trim moustache and wears a snappy military uniform. He speaks with thundering confidence. I am Human Ambition. I have brought great swaths of the world under my heel, time and again, purging the unfit and rewarding the strong. All progress relies on my zeal.
The fourth man steps forward. He has a weak, wiry moustache. He speaks in a whiny drawl. I am human stupidity. I have urged man to reject religion, using the very stability it provides as a platform for assault. I have urged man to reject logic, using rhetorical tricks to veil nonsense. I follow in the wake of Ambitions success, slowly corrupting in the centuries that follow. For all their military success, Rome and America could not withstand me. It was their very virtue that damned them in the end. My offerings to humanity are socialism and atheism.
God pounds his gavel onto his desk. Ye have spoken, now let ye be judged, he proclaims. Spirituality, Ingenuity, and Ambition: I declare you honourable attributes, fit for heaven. Stupidity! Your crimes disgust me, and for that I sentence you to hell. But first, for all of the evil you have wrought, I shall allow my followers a little fun. Now that Judgement Day has been dealt with, we shall proceed onto our next state of affairs. Yes, little piggy, for so long you have sought to reduce man -- my proudest invention -- to beast. Now we shall see how YOU like it. You are now their beast, and they shall hunt you for sport.
Stupidity gasps and looks down; he has cloven hooves for hands and feet. He looks up at God and the three virtues. God is menacingly patting his gavel into his hand, while Ambition hoists a spear and even Spirituality has a devious grin on his face. Stupidity squeals in terror and scampers away as the hunters give pursuit.
