I am reminded of a quote by G. K. Chesterton, “It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.” And so it was often directed towards the Muhammadan, and his culture without jokes or music. \u00a0 Like all paganisms, there is no humor, life is deadly serious servitude to some pagan deity.\u00a0 And so with our worship of the victim.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>The other side of the problem is the hyper individualized post modern. \u00a0 Everyone has become a minority of one. \u00a0“How dare you judge me unless you walk a mile in my shoes.” It\u2019s the easiest way to win an argument\u00a0 when you don\u2019t know anything and the only way to relate to other people when you have destroyed any objective standards outside yourself.<\/p>\n

It is also a reaction to the hyper collective aspect of modernism.\u00a0 You it’s Star Trek, and we all have the same outfits and live in the same cubicle.\u00a0 In contrast today, everyone works a little to hard to be themselves.\u00a0 And so we see the modern trying to save the world with the one-size-fits-all solution of communism and the post modern trying to save the world by smoking pot and trying to find a unique way to not do things his ancestors have always done.<\/p>\n

The problem is that both are inhuman lies.\u00a0 God is both one and three, false gods are one or the other.\u00a0 He is diverse and unified.\u00a0 You can\u2019t have just one side, only diversity or only unity.\u00a0 It\u2019s not true and it\u2019s not funny.<\/p>\n

Chesterton in his parenthesis, which is the source of the above quote, goes on to address these other problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever is cosmic is comic.\u201d\u00a0 But the problem with our culture is that we don\u2019t allow anything to be cosmic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf nobody has any right to judge of Spiritualism except a man who has been to a s\u00e9ance, the results, logically speaking, are rather serious:\u00a0 it would almost seem as if nobody had any right to judge of Christianity who had not been to the first meeting at Pentecost. Which would be dreadful.\u201d\u00a0 Minorities of one, ruin everything.<\/p>\n

The collective will not save you, even the collective fueled by ‘science’. \u00a0But you also can’t be your own messiah. \u00a0 \u00a0You need Jesus the Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But you really should just read<\/a> the entire essay. Or listen<\/a>. \u00a0And then ready everything else he ever wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
