“There are no absolutes or certainty” is an absolute and certain!
Maybe you heard this one before. But here is a fresh articulation I just heard today: we cannot know anything because everything is filtered. And when you say: at least we know that there are filters and we can work on them, they go: oh, no. We have no idea what those filters are!
I am sick of this! This is failure, plain and simple, a paradigm that has one axiom: this paradigm does not work.
The field of religious studies started with naive atheist evolutionists who study “primitive” “irrational” cultures and go: people have religion and morals because they wanna kill their fathers and have sex with their moms, and it’s all gonna end soon because we now have science. And it ended with an outright admission of failure (commonly known as “postmodernism”).
Christianity didn’t work, “rationality” didn’t work, and this will apparently work! They are so subtle in criticizing the naively progressive paradigm of the Enlightenment and they think they progressed because they abandoned that. Beautiful, isn’t it?
I know that “postmodernism” is limited to a couple of fields in academia and that it is waning. I just had to release some pressure!
