One of the main reasons why it's virtually impossible to be both a genuine Christian and at the same time politically correct is the fact that the notion has taken over modern minds that there is no such thing as truth, but that truth is merely a matter of personal views. Any worldview veering from that law of political correctness will automatically land you in weirdo-nirvana.
The problem with political correctness, is... it sucks.
What it really is, is a new, unwritten law: "Thou shalt be thine own, self-fabricated god," or, "Thou shalt concoct thine own philosophy, no matter how pitiful and screwed up, and call it 'truth'! (Don't worry, nobody's going to give you hell about it, or we're gonna give them hell!)"
It's the dictatorship of every Tom, Dick and Harry over any other Tom, Dick and Harry that should have the bad karma to cross their path.
An old friend once said: "Opinions are like assholes: everybody's got one."
The refusal to accept any certain and definite credo as the truth is simply the self-issued license for every individual to create their own. Perhaps that's precisely what Satan meant by "Ye shall be as gods."
When it comes to being a genuine Christian, you start having problems with that, because unless Jesus really was Who He said He was, and what He was, and if He really, honest to God wasn't any of those things, then all He would have been was a weirdo. That's why Christians can't just say, "Oh, well, yeah, I know, of course, you're right everybody: there isn't really any such thing as truth... it's just that I personally believe in Jesus, and I mean, hey, I could be mistaken, and your trip could be just as much the truth as mine..., after all, who knows, right?"
What kind of a faith would that be?
That's why, eventually, Christendom is going to have to part from the rest of the flock (or should I say, herd) of the global community that chooses to adhere to the Gospel of political correctness. It is either going to be swallowed up by it (which probably the majority of lukewarn, half-hearted bench-warmers are going to do) or rebel against it ferociously, even if it means being labeled lunatics, fanatics, extremists, and possibly even terrorists, which will give the wonderful politically correct New World Order its final excuse to create a new generation of martyrs.
I admit, any stinking lie is a lot more comfortable to live with. After all, have we all been brainwashed with Freddy Mercury's "Bohemian Rhapsody" ("I don't wanna die..."), or haven't we? The thing is, each one of us is inevitably going to die, eventually, whether we want to believe that or not, and that's some undeniable truth for you, and not just a matter of opinion.
Of course, the main issue about "what is truth" is not so much the fact that we're going to die, but what happens afterwards. I guess we'll all know more then, and see who was right, and whether there was any such thing as "right," after all, or not. As far as this life is concerned, it's already clearly stated in the Bible that if we only hope in Christ regarding this life alone, then we're of all people the most miserable. In other words, if Jesus was just some nice dude or philosopher that it's supposed to be hip to follow, then we're really screwed, and of all people the greatest fools. About 95% of everything He ever said can be discarded then (which is just about what the average so-called Christian does).
Take, for example, His often quoted statement, “the truth shall make you free.” What truth? You mean the truth everybody concocts for himself in their own head, consisting of thousands of shreds of pet doctrines and personal preferences, some artificially, haphazardly slapped together dogma, one in 7 billion? And free from what? Free to do and say and think whatever I please, alright (regardless of whether it’s truth or right or not), which is the kind of freedom a significant portion of the world population has been enjoying for the past few decades, although, thanks to some cleverly concocted “truths” (or not), that freedom seems to be slowly (or not) fading away …
If, on the other hand, Jesus is indeed what He claimed of Himself, “the way, the truth and the life,” and the only way to God (John 14:6), and His Words are truth, and He’s not only one of a gazillion other little gods creating some sort of inter-galactic traffic jam in heaven, but really the Dude, then He and those Words must have that power He claimed, namely to set us free from a crueler task master than the whips of Rome: our own sinful selfishness. That same insane egotism that gives us the audacity to claim that whatever little fabrication our brains come up with is “the truth,” (just like any other)…
Only the Father of lies could have cooked up such a brilliant master plan, to have 7 billion idiots kidding themselves, running around, and each proclaiming their own little “truth.” Why? “Because there is no truth,” or “Truth is merely a matter of personal opinion.” Well, you’ve heard my old friend’s take on opinions.
So, basically, the question is, what do you want? The truth, or just be one more asshole with an opinion?
