Excellent post. I just finished reading a bo...Mark,<br />Excellent post. I just finished reading a book by Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias titled Why Jesus? In it, he describes the threat of New Age Spirituality and the emphasis on the attempt to elevate humanity to god-like status. The idea that man himself is divine and has a deity buried deep within him just waiting to be set free is the recurring theme. Truth in its most ideal sense is abandoned to encompass "all paths to God" - namely the narcissistic belief that since Man is God, you have to look inward for true spiritual life and Truth. <br />This, of course, it nonsense but at the same time it is very appealing in this "self-empowered" culture we live in. <br />I have just discovered your blog and I intend to peruse thoroughly. If this post is any indication of your other writings, then I look forward to reading them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
