The focus on truth today is on interpretation of the meaning, not on whether it is correct or not. The President did a significant spin on the interpretation of what sex was in order to define, from his perspective, whether or not he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinski. The facts of what did or did not happen got lost in the interpretation of what the truth was. To a post-modernist, truth is viewed as relative, evaluated with cynicism and perceived to be nothing more than a mask for power. As a society, we are losing our ability to distinguish between truth and illusion.
Suspicion is the watchword of the day.
The church, the political arena, science and the arts are all held hostage to a cultural belief that nothing is as it seems. There no longer is a belief in universal truth. No longer is there the belief that you can control your destiny, that belief has been replaced by cynicism. Multitudes of religious seekers are looking to pop culture today to define their religious beliefs. It isn't that people are not interested in Christianity, rather it is the underlying cultural biases that conflict with the proclaimed message of who Jesus is and its relevance for today.
