Natutuwa naman ako na pati ang ating homeboy na si Pastor Tim nagbiibigay ng take to warn against #AfterModernity at #neighborology (at most recently mga Wonder Woman tropes) dito sa Pinas sa sinabi nyang eto sa isang article --
"More than that, a rejection of objective truth invites despotism simply because it collapses truth into whatever those in power allow to pass for truth in your bubble."
Eto yung malimit ko na ring sinasabi na bukambibig ng grupo ng mga Pinoy "evangelicals" na ito na mag challenge ng existing commitments ng mga conservative Christians. They would use their all-too common na "Sino ang nagktakda?" to challenge and disarm not only your commitments but the creeds, confessions and catechisms na linggwahe mo. They will challenge yung Trinity, yung original sin atbp COVERTLY kasi nga marami din silang nakukuha na suporta sa mga tipo ng evangelicals na object ng critique nila. Magsasalita yan sa mga seminars pero very covert sa mga mga commitments nila.
Sino daw ang nagtakda? As if truth can be ultimately adjudicated pag nasagot mo yan. Yet what we need to understand is that deep inside, yung pagiging anti-objective truth or anti-universal truth nila may malicious maneuver na either intentional sila or not that sharp enough to see because of the ideological muck in their brains, to take a position of power. Ang theory ng knowledge nyang mga yan is that, "You have that belief because some power in the history of Christianity made it the rule of the hegemony." Pumu-pukol yan ng Foucault.
Yan ang sinasabi nung matandang Keller. They will reject pero ang undercurrent nyan is nagtatayo sila ng despotism na sila yung despot. Magvi-virtue signal yan na may disdain sa power pero deep inside, that very power is what they are salivating at.
