Post-enlightenment rationalist thinkers believed we could "progress" beyond Christianity. They made the argument that now we understand the laws, we can throw out all the old superstitious bits and the unbelievable stories and keep only the useful parts governing morality and behaviour. They called this new religion "humanism" or "rationalism" and it was based on applying the scientific method and laws of reason to govern human behaviour rather than stories and religion. I would say that 300 years later this experiment has been quite conclusively proven a failure. We have drag queen story hour at the local schools. We have rape gangs, pedofilia at the highest level, widespread sodomy, destruction of the nuclear family, poisonous food as a result of pursuit of profit above all else, abortion, worship of mammon and moloch that is moving from implicit to explicit... not to mention the disastrous catastrophes of the 20th century which brutally tortured and killed hundreds of millions of people. It is ironic that if you were to actually follow the scientific method, you would come to realise that the "old-fashioned" dogmatic and supposedly superstitious following of Christianity actually created wonderful and beautiful societies compared to the cesspool we see today. The trouble is that the scientific establishment has morphed into "The Science" - a pseudoreligion that claims to be all-knowing (omnipotent) and to have all the answers. Where historical evidence would contradict this, it is ignored and any academics pushing it are shunned. A convenient narrative of progress has been drawn up that cherry picks from history and outright lies in some case in order to support the argument that things are better than they ever have been - whereas, to anybody with a pair of functioning eyes, things are quite clearly worse. The myth of progress is necessary in order to justify continuing the dogma of rationalism even though we are seeing in real time the transformation of rationalism into its final form: Satanism. In throwing out Christianity, the post-enlightenment thinkers were committing the sin of pride. They thought they knew better than God. In their hubris they did not understand the forces they were dealing with. They did not understand the evil they had unleashed. And, the consequences were not immediately obvious: Western civilisation continued to coast on the momentum of its Christian underpinnings for several centuries, it is only now when the last remnants of Christian morality have finality rotted away that we can see the true horror of a world without God. A fish does not know what water is until you take it out of the water. Chesterton explains this extremely well - you CANNOT have Christian morality without Christian stories and dogma. Experimental evidence directly confirms this. So regardless of our own rational selves, regardless of what WE think, it might be time to humble ourselves before God and realise that there are things in this universe that man does not know and does not understand, and accepting the biblical stories at face value will lead to a far better outcome than convincing ourselves that we know better.
