Postmodernism means two plus two can equal five

There's an Iranian guy who sometimes works on my vehicle.  He once told me a little about his native country that went something like this---the trouble with Iran is that two plus two equals five.  Yes, that's the world today.  Two plus two equals five, or even five hundred.

Now, recall what postmodernism claims---that there's no truth.  Actually, they claim there's no absolute truth.  But that's contradiction.  Truth is absolute.  There's no partly true thing, it's true or it isn't.  So, when you say that two plus two equals four, you are telling truth.  But not so to a postmodernist.  For a postmodernist, this is only a construct, the actual truth could be unknowable.

There are things that are unknowable, I agree with that.  For example, you can't know what happens when you die.  Does your spirit die with your body, or does it go somewhere?  How can you know this until you die?  Since nobody who has been dead, really dead, can come back and tell you, you can't know this.

However, this may be disputed by Christianity.  Jesus came back from the dead.  But how do you know this?  You have to take the word of witnesses at the time.  It is a matter of choice as to whether you believe that or not.  It isn't the quality of the evidence, you know.  The OJ Simpson jury had the best quality scientific evidence available that would have convicted Simpson of murder.  But they decided to not believe it.  Likewise, you can decide to believe what witnesses said about Jesus' death and resurrection.  Or decide not to believe it.  You can't say truthfully that there is no evidence, as Ayn Rand did.

I have said many times before that the truth is a slippery thing.  But that is not the same as saying there's no truth at all.  All I'm saying is that truth is hard to find.  That is especially true when someone is trying to deceive you.  Now, that's a thought.  Before someone can deceive you, there has to be truth.  To lie implies truth.  What do the postmodernists have to say about that?  That there is no such thing as a lie?

Postmodernists deny truth.  But there can be no denial if there is no truth.  There can be no sanity if there is no truth.  How do you judge sanity?  The ability to perceive reality correctly?  That is what I always thought it meant.  But if reality doesn't exist, how can there be any sane people?

Two plus two equals five.  That's the crazy world we are entering.  It's a part of the death cult that denies truth.  To the death cult, the truth can be anything you want it to be.  Or what a cult of personality--- like Obama aspires to be--- says it is, and you will comply.
