[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.
Justin has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":
You have the culture given to you. You are a product of it. While a culture in the orient may have some positive elements, I can't partake. They are not mine. To think I can is the lie of Popular Culture. Multi-Culturism is a farce. Popular Culture is a substitute culture. Culture isn't something you can put on like a new coat. Popular Culture asks us to do just that.
Jesse,
What if pop culture is your culture though? You said that culture is given you. But what does that look like? Must you be born in the culture to be considered apart of that culture. Think of it then from a salvation level. Nobody is ever born into a "Christian" culture. It is handed to them. All "Christian" cultures are different. And all "Christian" cultures change and adapt. I think it would be foolish to think that a culture can't change. It has to change in order to survive. Fundamentalism happens to be a culture that wants to stay the same and in the process will die if it does.
