Postmodernism forces modernism to answer the hard questions about life. Modernity's assumption fall before postmodernism's critique of it.

@philiplyndonsaunders Not at all, what you are speaking of I absolutely agree. I was referring to posts that have no coherent logic whatsoever pertaining to the matter at hand, such as the issue of him appearing in front of lots of books? That poster criticized Wells for being subjective, but...wasn't his comment even more subjective? Logical arguments, yes, but the name-calling and other illogical criticism shouldn't be...

Christ is a fragment, like everything else, in a postmodern world. This post-Hebrew theology is neither an origin or an arche, although many atheistic and Orientialist theologies have proposed otherwise (e.g. the unity of the Trinity, the only Biblical literacy, the First Mover).

As a fragment, "Christianity" is destroyed as the Bible is not Said, but generated as set-theoretic subjectivities. What threatens this new Christianism is the destructive and developing presence of hyper-inductivism.

I fear if some of these posts here are Christian posts, and even more so if these are coming from theologians.

@Stirner123 He wasn't arguing, he was defining.....Idiot.

[Stirner123]

Wow, that was a brilliant argument! And, yes, I'm being sarcastic!

[rodrigabenita]

if you whould know what are you talking about, you didn't need to appear in front of lots of books, this definition is totally subjective, but well... if you are looking for a philosophicall answer, is better read a book
