More On the Destruction of Worldview Thinking.
This (via The New Pantagruel) is all the reason I need to proclaim a complete and total war on all worldviews. If you take the test you'll see that the idea of aligning oneself to a Christian WorldviewTM necessitates aligning yourself with the Conservative elements of American culture. An American flag even lies behind the symbol for Worldview WeekendTM. Take a look at their list of speakers and you'll be able to tell one thing that unites them all - they are, with three exceptions, white and male and I would be willing to guess that most of them are wealthy. At the end of the test you'll be able to check out resources that will help brainwash... err... cultivate a Biblical (at least they don't really say Christian) Theistic WorldviewTM (one of those resources is the book by Rush Limbaugh's brother).I took their worldivew test to see how I matched up with at Biblical Theistic WorldviewTM and I am very happy to report I was given a very poor rating. They put me in the "Communist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview" category (of course this ignores all the differences between those particular groups) and I couldn't be happier. I think I threw them some loops here and there though mainly because I can say something like "God is the foundation of the American Governmental system" and mean something completely different than what a Biblical Theistic WorldviewTM would mean. The whole thing just assumes so much on an ideological level and is stupidity par excellence.
I am very glad I attend a Catholic University that has no interest in holding a Biblical Theistic WorldviewTM.
