But modernism is no longer the primary adversary of Christianity. Today all religions face something extremely different. No longer do people question whether or not a religion is true. We believe in what we like. We believe what we want to believe.
Postmodernism rejects any religion that claims to be the only ultimate truth.
The primary adversary for Christians today is not the denial of our absolute truth, but rather, the denial of the existence of any absolute truth. From the schools to the hospitals, postmodern ideology has manifested itself in society. This philosophy holds the potential power to manipulate the way we think, act and live. Only when we perceive the mindset of society will we know how to approach the world in which we live, and only when we understand it will we realize how our own lives have been affected.
