One must look back to Friedrick Nietsche, from whom they learned that God is dead, and according to whom, “There are no absolute and fixed truths.” According to Nietsche, reality is a flux, an endless becoming that is beyond words and language – that all language is metaphor, useful to us but ultimately detached from reality.
Further, that fixed truths in religion and morality are an illusion. We created them, thus “God is dead” and morality is relative to the individual. And that myth is mightier than reality.
Therefore, it is important to understand that facts mean nothing to the postmodern liberal unless the facts support their agenda. If the facts are not useful to them, they merely change the language or simply refuse the debate.
In order to gain sway with one of these human chameleons one must first consider the value of making the effort to communicate. It is probable that it will not be worth the time or frustration, but if you conclude that it is a worthwhile exercise, speak what you know to be true, stand your ground, in other words on firm principles. Repeat yourself as necessary. Fall back, if necessary on the Founding Fathers. The Declaration of Independence says most of what needs to be said and cannot be refuted. The Constitution is also a very handy thing to have at hand.
Contrary to Nietsche’s opinion words have meaning, but names do not (a nose by any other other name will smell as well). They will call you names; racist, bigot, hater, homophobe. This is all they’ve got. Fear them not. They have no moral standing by their very own definition of morality. Their claims to integrity are as real as their ideology and no firmer than the shifting sands.
In truth, this is no contest. The debate is between truth and error, between what works and what does not, between right and wrong, between good and evil. Which side will prevail? You already know. The victor has already been determined. This event must merely undergo the formality of actually occurring. Stand firm. Be courageous. God is not dead. He stands with you in this battle as the war which began in heaven is concluded here on earth.
