Podcast Episode 4: Love is Love?
On Christians, Boundaries, and Deconstruction.
One of the prevailing, most common, and accepted beliefs of our time is summarized in the little phrase, “Love is love.”
You may not have heard it yet, or maybe you don’t know anything about it, but you’ll be confronted with the heart behind it eventually. It is the idea that love expressed by an individual or a couple is valid, no matter what. It is a common belief in our world that there are really no boundaries to love.
This idea of “no boundaries” comes from a post-modern, secular-humanist worldview that says there is no objective truth over the world. There are only individual or group truths. If there is no objective truth, then there is no authority. And if there is no authority then there are no boundaries anywhere.
Postmodernism attempts to deconstruct and take apart every institution we know. Every boundary must be torn down. Because if there is a boundary, there is an authority, and if there is an authority over the boundary, that authority, according to them, must be evil. Everything we know about reality must be turned completely upside down. This is a frustrating world to live in, and right now, the world around us is trying to force us to live in it.
