  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is Post-Modernism true??

Seeings they believe there is no such thing as truth?
Thus meaning it couldn't be true.
Maybe someone could explain that to me :)

"Post-Modernism" is a broad term which is often bandied about. If you want more in depth discussion on that, it would be best to clarify exactly what you mean by the term.

But your question of truth seems to be about whether there is "absolute truth." No, there's no reason to believe that there is any sort of absolute - meaning independent of context and experience - truth. Truth is not independent of what we know.

Young-Earth Creationists employ a curious - and uncredited - version of post-modernism when they go on about how evolution is based only on interpretation of evidence, and that a different interpretation makes YEC equally likely.

They never seem to acknowledge how theologically destructive such an opinion can be.
