[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 116786, member: 353"] Ok, James, I know we have a truce in terms of being aggressive towards each other however your response betrays a basic unawareness of just how susceptible you actually were to the prevailing norms of your era. Far from being immune to cultural influence, your being 50 places you squarely within the very shift you claim to have resisted. By the time you were coming of age, the once-dominant Christian worldview had already been completely eroded by secularism, relativism, and materialism. The intellectual and cultural elite were busy dismantling the remnants of faith, and atheism was being groomed as the new norm. So, when you say you've “always been an atheist,” you weren’t some brave dissenter—you were merely a product of the intellectual drift of your time. You didn’t reject the dominant ideology, you embraced it. And when you shrug off faith with “It’s not for me,” that’s not an intellectual stance, it’s consumerist sloganeering, reducing deep existential questions to the level of personal taste. It reflects not a thoughtful rejection, but a passive acceptance of what was already in the air. If you had truly been rebelling, you’d have pushed against the secular and materialist tide of your generation. Instead, you followed the path of least resistance, mistaking conformity for independence of mind. So, being 50 doesn’t make you a trailblazer—it means you were even more likely to absorb the secular narrative of your time without question. You’ve been shaped by the currents of modernity, just another product of the ideological conditioning of your generation. [/QUOTE]
