The Postmodern World
Steve Turner
English Journalist
On contemporary humanity
We believe in Marx, Freud and Darwin.
We believe everything is ok as long as you don't hurt anyone...to the best of your definition of hurt and to the best of your definition of knowledge.
We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that taboos are taboo.
We believe that everything is getting better despite evidence to the contrary. The evidence must be investigated and you can prove anything with evidence.
We believe there is something in horoscopes, UFOs and bent spoons.
Jesus was a good man just like Buddha, Mohammad, and ourselves.
He was a good moral teacher although we think some of his good morals were really bad.
We believe that all religions are basically the same. At least the ones that we read were. They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation, sin, heaven, hell, and salvation.
We believe that after death comes the nothing, because when we ask the dead what happens they say nothing....
We believe that man is essentially good, it's only his behavior that lets him down. This is the fault of society, society is the fault of conditions, and conditions are the fault of society.
We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him and reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust, history will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth accepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.
We believe in the rejection of creed and the flowering of individual thought.
If chance be the father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky and when you hear state of emergencies "sniper kills 10," "troops on rampage" "youths go looting" "bombs blast school" it is but the sound of man worshiping his maker.

"secularization ends up with no shame...
pluralization ends up with no reason...
privatization ends up with no meaning..."
"We are living in dangerous times not because of attacks from outside of this land, but because this land no longer knows what it believes. Until we know what we believe here and what it is that is worth preserving, we will never know what it is that is being attacked."
