The key to having a positive view of the end of Christian culture, by Christians, is the ability to separate out 2000 years of Christian culture from the essence, which is only the historical Jesus.

For the non-Christian, the new post-Christian world is attractive. However, for the Christian, it appears dismal. Their reaction is either 1: Denial, 2 Confrontation (the culture wars), or 3) Compromise, "new age Christianity where all views are equal. However, the most healthy way for a Christian to enter this new reality, in my opinion, is by understanding the difference between Christian culture (95%) and simply following the historical Jesus, the former being extraneous.

How Christian culture and Western culture (so influenced by Christianity) is wrong on how we deal with pain, and alternative ways to think about it.

It is possible to love God and have a relationship with him without being part of any religious social group, church, or system of belief.

Borrowing from a philosophy textbook, I tell a metaphor of parable about a famous meteorite, which illustrates how postmodernism handles truth and why it is so attractive as a cultural construct.

This is the conclusion of my review ot the highlights of the history of postmodernity, starting with the Greeks to the present.

I want to take the listener on a journey through the highlights of the history of how we came to postmodernity in the west. It is a very simple explanation.

This is my first in a series of podcast looking at the history of and problems with finding truth in a postmodern world from a simple philosophical perspective. The postmodern world, including postmodern Christianity (aka "New Age Christianity") relegates reason or rationality to an inferior position, compared to the mystical or "spiritual" which brings temporary peace (social peace), but at a great cost in the future. For once the aspiration of objective truth is lost, eventually there is no basis for the more important areas of ethics and meaning. 

If you are a religious person and you are happy with your religion, this is not the pod cast for you. But if you are a religious and you feel conflicted between the dogmas of your religion and what science is telling you, you should listen.
