    17. Why Has Everyone Gone Crazy? (or, A Modest Introduction to Postmodernism)

    By most accounts we have entered a new intellectual age. We are postmodern now. The major targets of postmodernism include doing away with Reason, Truth, and Knowledge. Postmodernism then becomes an activist strategy against the coalition of reason and power. Postmodernism seeks not to find the foundation and the conditions of truth but to exercise power for the purpose of social change. Why do skeptical and releativistic arguments have the cultural power that they now do? How do the intellectual themes of exhaustion, nihilism, and cynicism coexist with a broader culture that is richer, freer, and more vigorous than any culture at any other point in history? Why is it that the leading postmodern thinkers are Left in their politics--in most cases, far Left? And why is it that that prominent segment of the Left-the same Left that traditionally defended its positions on the modernist grounds of reason, science, fairness for all, and optimism--is now voicing themes of anti-reason, anti-science, all's-fair-in-love-and-war, and cynicism?  In other words...why has everyone gone crazy? We're exploring the book: Explaining Postmodernism, Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault by Stephen R.C. Hicks

    16. What is the Meaning of Life (part 1 of 2)

    "I find the fact that there is no external force in charge of us all makes the life we do have much more interesting. We get to derive our meaning, and create our own purpose, and that makes it a much richer experience than playing out pre-written scripts for the amusement of an omniscient almighty. That we all just get one life to live means we don't have the safety net of a do-over, and it makes the time that we do have more meaningful to me."

    15. Why Do People Sometimes Doubt Their Belief in God?

    "I feel that I've lost all ground and have spiraled out of control with fear, doubt, and confusion. Why is someone believing in Islam (or any other religion) wrong, and why am I right? I have always felt that Christianity was right because it confirmed my sense of compassion and goodness, but what if my sense of 'goodness' is just from my personal morality I've built thus far? How do I really know it's right?" We're reviewing and commenting on the book: Talking with Your Kids about God: 30 Conversations Every Christian Parent Must Have by Natasha Crain.

    14. Is What You Believe about God Simply a Matter of Where You Grew Up?

    "Given that a person's religion is most often a simple accident of geography, how can religious people be so convinced that their particular one just happens to be the only one that is right?"

    13. Do All Religions Worship the Same God?

    "A member of the Sikh religion stated, "The God of Abraham, Mohammed, and Jesus is the same as the God sorshiped by. Sikhs. We simply are seeing different aspects of it and approach it from a different understanding." How would you respond?

    12. How to Choose Among Different Views About God?

    "We could argue until the cows come home about which religion is the best or truest, and it would be a monumental waste of breath. God is not concerned about which religion is better than other religions. God is concerned with how well each religion brings its people closer to God, and how well each religion moves its believers to. love and serve their fellow human beings." How would you respond?

    11. What Do Scientists Believe About God?

    "A woman posed the following question online: '93% of scientists are atheist or agnostic. Tell me, how does one in a religious group explain these statistics? I am an atheist myself just trying to discover how the minds of theists work.' Why do you think she's asking how religious people "explain" that statistic? How would. you reply?

    10. Is God Just an Explanation for What Science Doesn't Yet Know?

    "A teenager made the following claims on a website: 'Science is based off cold hard facts, while the Bible is nothing [more] than an explanation that was created by an ancient people with no knowledge of modern science...In the days of religions' creation, modern science (or almost any science) was not present because science had to progress from less complex roots...Religion is nothing more than an uneducated way of explaining the unknown from the past. (By the way, I am fifteen and I just proved thousands of years of region worthless.)'  How would you reply to this statement."
