Oxymorons that describe Mankind

Demonic mystic
Inconclusively decisive
Miserly generous
Religious atheist
Spiritually agnostic
Destructively creative
Satanic Deity
Divisively united
Seething calm
Silent din
Fundamentally baseless
Childish Adult
Veracious hypocrite
Pompously modest
Living dead

  2. gr8 oxymorons on mankind. but didn't get the poem feeling. One possibility I see is reordering the lines, so that it could have rhymed..

    mystic:angostic, baseless: generous, modest:atheist..etc

    Not convinced that these are oxymorons - to me they look like paired up antonyms that are not really usable :) except for fundamentally baseless.

    insipid creativity
    confused clarity
    static truth
    wavering strength
    noisy calm
    us them....
