It’s important to understand that postmodernism, from which critical race theory was originally spawned, denies either that fully certain truth exists at all, or that if it does exist, it is unknowable by man.
In my LAST ARTICLE, we discussed the gravest danger of critical race theory for Christians. In this one, we will briefly touch on the gravest life implications when somebody is ensnared in the mind-scrambling grip of critical race theory.
Once someone has abandoned man’s God designed and ordained powers of intellect and analysis as the means by which information is gathered and examined as to it’s truth or falsity, and their own “lived experience” is erected in their place, people view themselves as their own ultimate source of truth. In the case of professing Christians, often even while vociferously denying that that’s what they’re doing.
I’ve observed two major ways that this manifests itself.
First is the amazing ability to embrace overtly contradictory concepts or interpretations of circumstances at the same time. We see this for instance in the above example of professing Christians who will jump up and down and proclaim with all passion and conviction that only Christ and His holy Word are for them the standard of truth. And this while in the same conversation, with equal passion and conviction, repeating verbatim the wildly unbiblical pronouncements of God-hating pagans like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X Kendi. They honestly perceive no contradiction in their embracing at once both of these starkly opposing sources of information and their resulting worldviews.
The second major way I’ve observed as the manifestation of this futile attempt at suppressing the image and likeness of God in which they were created, is the willingness to believe ideas, not simply in the absence of evidence, but in the face of abundant and unassailable evidence to the contrary. I was recently in a conversation with a woman who became a first-time gun owner over the last year for her own self-protection. Good for her. Truly.
