As philosopher James Faulconer put it, "Modernism is a set or constellation of doctrines or beliefs; postmodernism is a set of strategies for questioning modernism." Faulconer continues: "One can believe that modernism is wrong about knowledge but that knowledge is, nevertheless, possible. Those who accept the strong relativist argument are radical only in their posture, not in their position; radical relativism is an unsophisticated, privative variation on modernism."
I think it depends if you see postmodernism as an *approach* to *uncovering* truth or a *belief about* truth itself. A postmodern *approach* to *uncovering* truth is (in my view) nothing more than intellectual humility and honesty in one's thinking and learning. A postmodern *belief about* truth is that truth is relative and is not objective in any way. I think Craig is addressing the latter (though I rarely use the term "postmodernism" to describe the former) and nails it.
The only result of acknowledging it for me is understanding and perhaps negative thought but m cognitive mind will handle that. I don't get paranoid or nausious of it. I think it's unnessecary and foolish to imagine one self it's objective truth.
1:02. His analogy represents a theist perfectly. When they have thought about their diety - This better be objective truth for my ego can't handle "me" not living an eternity. When it actually is not objective truth. And besides, analogy between the possibillety of there not being poison in the asprin being the same to there being a heaven is incorrect.

So Satan is apparently not only a humanist but also a postmodernist naturalist?

What a foolish example with the bottles. He actually proves the point that rationality can only be process, instrumental, and relative to values.

this should be rated PG-18. No children should be exposed to this sort of ignorance.
