•    Postmodernism   

    Put simply, postmodernism is the belief that all truth is valid truth.  This, of course, redefines and blurs the lines between truths and beliefs and allows for all beliefs, regardless of logic and reason, to be seen and presented as truth.  The reason this is done is to avoid confrontation and build self-esteem.  It was birthed out of Modernism, which dissolved with the Berlin Wall.

    Postmodernism  began with what are now the 30-somethings and continues to be taught as a philosophy and world view by that generation to their kids and students.  The problem with it is two fold.  First, it’s illogical and contradictory.  But that aside, the second problem is that 1000′s (if not 1,000,000′s) that hold this world view do not live their lives according to this perspective.  When checking out at the grocery store, they do not tell the cashier that they believe the total to be $75.00 when asked to pay $98.00.  The teacher in the classroom clearly marks test questions right or wrong and the parent does not argue that they believe their child got all the answers right if some are marked incorrect.  And when the check hits the overdrawn account and gets returned, the account holder may say “I thought there was money in the account.”  But they don’t say ” This should not have been returned.”

    The fact is postmodernist live their lives with absolutes.  They pay for their purchases according to the price marked, not what they think it should be.  They discern between a correct answer and an incorrect answer on school papers and tests.  And despite what they thought was in the bank account, the check is returned unpaid when the money is not there to cover it.

    So, if this logic is so flawed and hypocritical with the daily life, what changes to make it valid for the religious perspective?  To say you can believe what you want religiously and I will believe what I want religiously and we’re both right and neither of us are wrong, even if the two views are completely contradictory, is ludicrous and inconsistent.  If the source material for the major world religions are examined, it becomes clear that their teachings are not the same in respect to God, heaven, righteousness, daily living, and the person of Jesus Christ.  When truly and openly researched, without prejudice and presuppositions, it is clear and obvious that only the Bible is supernatural.  It is only the defiant will, the unwillingness to bend the knee, that anyone can say it is not.  And it is postmodernism that excuses them of their pride.
