I don't buy into the whole postmodernism philosophical thing. So when I stumble across a Christian blogger who declares postmodernism a concept from our past, and then goes on to lament the coming scourge of secularism, science, and atheism, I tend to hit the next blog button. However, this guy was even more depressing than most, so I stuck it out. It was a mistake. Apparently the next few years for Christians are going to be bleak, what with science explaining faith, thought crimes, and atheism declaring all religion evil... pass the cool-aid please.
The Science of Faith - Science has, in the past steered away from non-empirical areas of faith. But under increased pressure to explain the unexplainable, scientists are moving quickly to provide a framework of reducing faith to 'scientific' components. Science must do this to restore the lost power from the rise of postmodernism and rejection of a naturalistic modern progression....

Kind of ironical. The Christian masses look a lot less "alive" than say pagans at a full moon ceremony or mosh pitters at a Fugazi gig. The "dying world" is in the churches and all those empty pews - well except for enlightened regions of higher Christian civilization - like North Carolina.
Post-modernism boils down to an experiment in futility.
f'ing PoMo!
