Drawing the Line

 

I believe that postmodernism is genuinely satanic. So is transgenderism; so is New Age. So is Pope Francis, who seems always to make things less clear.

They are all relativists: all insist there is no solid truth, and no clear distinctions should be made. 

God, by contrast, is the ultimate, the absolute. Relativism is his opposite and his negation.

Relativists want distinctions to be vague. God and monotheism require firm hard lines, judgements: between good and evil, truth and falsehood, self and other, God and creature, male and female, I and Thou. 

Relativists want everything to remain murky. Jesus wants clarity. He says that he is the light; that we must seek the light; that we must let our light shine.
