Postmodern and Posthuman Divorcing of God and God's Nature

.
With an android Pulse App, it’s convenient to monitor a variety of opinion-shaping commentators. Once one becomes generally familiar with worldviews espoused among the commentariat, one is usually, easily able to predict how its members will tilt in respect to unfolding events. Mainly, there are the worldviews of the Good (freedom conservers), the Bad (sheep-shearing Marxists), the Ugly (freedom-killing jihadists), and the pants-on-ground Clownish (libertine entitlement-arians). How may/should one gauge their truthiness? Well, ask: does experience suggest that their world views actually tend to establish and preserve that which they seem to wish for? Does printing and spreading money establish wealthy society? Does demoting freedom to non-reality establish goodliness or godliness? Does tolerating and financing with tax money every conceivable social combination assimilate defensible culture?

Mortals only tinker at mapping the non-trivial truth. Our models for the truth are not the actual territory of the truth. And no single, grand model seems to serve every legitimate scientific and spiritual purpose for how we relate to the truth. Rather, the present truth value for a particular model seems much to depend upon present purpose, perspective, and context. A political model that does not experientially seem to establish or preserve that which one feels or wishes for would seem not to have much truth value in relation to one's purposes.

Sometimes, postmodernists seem to grow dispirited and wish to divorce themselves in order to establish their own personal reality, as by “reasoning to wished results” — never mind God and God’s Nature. Imagination can be a wonderful attribute, but tends to nurture horrifics when it fails to apprehend its limits. We are, after all, limited to a sort of unfolding light cone of possibilities, as established and projected under God’s imagination. To paraphrase Dirty Harry, A man’s got to know his limitations ... and his purposes. Otherwise, he won’t have much to clue him whether his methods and opinions are helpful to his purposes. Sadly, with regard to the Bad, the Ugly, and the Clownish, that seems to be where we find ourselves. Such people seem not well to apprehend that which they are about.  Sadly, as they purpose to hollow out, replace, or render humanity superfluous to the cosmos, that purpose does not appear to be beyond their capabilities.  Nor does such purpose appear to be one that Obama is disposed to hinder, especially vis a vis Israel and Iran.
