PoMo Crisis!

postmodernism has some ideas that cannot blend with christianity. for example, pay no attention to authority vs. Christ's teachings to obey authority. kind of hard to put those two together. however, i think we can take some of the stuff that is not harmful. life is not orderly; life is chaotic. we should celebrate how chaotic life is, because that's what makes it exciting. honestly, sometimes there are things that are relative. for example, if i held up a color and you called it blue, but i had been taught that it was green...who is right? did God name colors? the color is still there...that's not relative, but the name it is called is relative. so i think as christians we need to look at postmodernism and reject the things that cannot fit into our beliefs and take the things in it that are beneficial. there is always a little bit of truth in all deception - it is when we can determine between the two that we can take the good from it.
