[QUOTE="losthope, post: 58419162, member: 94863"] To joey down under, You wrote this: [I]I'll address these minor topics first and do the long entry tomorrow[/I]. I look forward to it. [I]It sure is a love it or hate it kind of programme. He is as subtle as a sledgehammer. Having very tactless relatives makes it way easier for me to ignore things that others might find it offensive. (I make sure I know what they mean first.) I should have said just listen to that first segment[/I] I agree as subtle as a sledgehammer. It was not my type of programme. Despite the Monty Python theme music it was very American. I have never heard anything similar in England, not on Christian radio. But you never know. [I]I can't remember what made me first listen to Fighting for the Faith, but it must have been in my trying to work out what I really believed during my severe depression (approx mid 2008 -mid 2009). I struggled with the law-and-grace aspect of Christianity for a long time, probably also from Catholic upbringing. I had a strict Catholic family and in primary school had the last of the old school nuns. I found his analyses of bad sermons that were extremely heavy on guilt and very light on grace quite freeing[/I] Yes, he did complain several times that the sermon he was criticising was preaching the law rather than grace. There was some guilt in the sermon as well. But you cannot expect to get a single sermon to cover every aspect of Christianity thoroughly and in a completely balanced way. [I]Postmodernism is far more a Generation X/Y issue. Blame the modern education system that had to write God out of all curriculum. Same goes for the New Atheism/Scientism worldview. Science is the new religion - all hail Science[/I]. Maybe I am old enough to remember what it was like before the modern education system, and even though science was the new religion back then more than it is now, the teacher was able to ask questions like this, Are we descended from Adam and Eve or are we descended from apes? (Please, nobody respond to that question. I do not want to get sidetracked.) [I]For you and I neuropsychology is a major factor to consider when looking at ourselves and experiences.[/I] Yes. Especially important for us. It would be wrong to ignore what people have learned about how the brain operates. [/QUOTE]
