Do you think that I am offensively, exagerating my importance? 

You may find me offensive as many others probably would. I'm ok with that. I know it is impossible to please everyone and as we see (especially in politics), people who try to please everyone are the people who really don't stand for anything. And in my mind those people are not good role models for society. 

Second of all I don't think that I, in myself, I am important with regards to this issue. I think that what I am saying though, is important. I am stating, and backing up everything that I say with references and historical facts. I am not blindly saying anything, in fact, and I meant to type this in previous posts, if anyone wishes to have further discussion on any of the related topics being discussed please feel free to email me at nbrookskingston@hotmail.com 

I do understand that there are probably billions of people who disagree with me. That is perfectly fine. The things I am stating about these issues are true and not made up. 

Ok, Eastern Thinking, Humanism, post Modernism - take your pick. They may not be axactly the same but they all folow the same agenda. Lets look at Post Modernism: From The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict, written by Josh McDowell, Volume I and II pgs. 612 &619-620 

Truth: Truth does not exist objectively; it is a product of a person's culture 

Thought and Language: thinking is a social contruct,: language is arbitrary, and there is no universal truth transcending culture. 

Take for example the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University. It has stairways leading to apparently nothing, columns that are raised off the floor, beams going in every direction.... a building that defies all logic right? Not exactly. The only problem is that this building still has to have a logical, firm foundation. If there was no foundation, for instance, the building would not be standing. Regardless of the direction we choose, there still has to be a sensible basis, a truth, for everything. Could you imagine if the English language suddenly became objective in every way to everyone. Everything would fall apart. Obviously perception and tone etc are objective but the actual words can not be. Lets say for instance I said "lets go to the store" and you decided that to you, that meant " lets eat lunch at McDonalds". Everbody decides what's right for them. Even though you're saying that Eastern Thinking is ok, it is impossible to practice it at 100% capacity. And even at 99% it's not really Eastern thinking because the foundation of thought is still based in Western Ideaology. 

Hope this explains my stand a little bit better. 

Cheers
