“Either we conform our desires to the truth or we conform
the truth to our desires.” - Os Guinness
And this is exactly the monumental switch that has taken
place in our culture beginning with the 1960's...
In short, we have tragically and dangerously shifted our
behavioral orientation from being rooted in "Objective Truth"(1) to that
of "Subjective Truth." (2)
Clearly there have been times in our global past, when those
who claimed to hold and exercise (abused) "Objective Truth," did so
as a devil incarnate. But there will come a time, when those who perpetuate
"Subjective Truth,” (3) will unleash an entire Hell of Devils... And what
could be more terrifying and destructive than the representational free reign
of a congress of personal demons?
(1) Immutable and eternal principles around which
individuals in a society conform themselves.
(2) An emerging, personal principle and/or belief; of an
individual or small group of people, to which the entire society must conform.
(3) I can't go there now in terms of it's wide-ranging and
comprehensive implications...
