STILL ANOTHER WORLDVIEW SHIFT
Submitted by Steve Dunn

     As Christian evangelists we are already wrestling with the shift to postmodernism that views truth as rooted in experience and is suspicious of absolutes.   The upside of this is that postmoderns do believe they are spiritual beings and that there are spiritual answers to life’s questions, not merely empirical ones limited by the limits of the scientific method.  Atheists, genuine atheists, are rare these days.  However, David Brooks, op-ed columnist for The New York Times writes that a new type of atheism seems to be emerging—one that puts little stock in divine law or revelation. He calls it “neural Buddhism.”  If you’d like to read more about this development go to the link
