From A Christian Manifesto Chapter 1 The Abolition of Truth and Morality pages 20 and 21.
The Humanist Manifesto I, published in 1933, showed with crystal clarity their (humanists) comprehension of the totality of what is involved. It was to our shame that Julian (1887-1975) and Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), and the others like them, understood much earlier than Christians that these two world views (humanistic, Christian) are two total concepts of reality standing in the antithesis to each other. We should be utterly ashamed that this is the fact.
They understood not only that there were two totally difference concepts but that they would bring forth two totally different conclusions, both for individuals and for society. What we must understand is that the two world views really do bring forth with inevitable certainty not only personal differences, but also total difference in regard to society, government, and law.
There is no way to mix these two total world views. They are separate entities that cannot be synthesized. Yet we must say that liberal theology, the very essence of it from its beginning, is an attempt to mix the two. Liberal theology tried to bring forth a mixture soon after the Enlightenment and has tried to synthesize these two views right up to our own day. But in each case when the chips are down these liberal theologians have always come down, as naturally as a ship coming into home port, on the side of the nonreligious humanist. They do this with certainty because what their liberal theology really is is humanism expressed in theological terms instead of philosophic or other terms.
Wouldn't this be idolatry? If the liberal theologian, when pressed, aligns with non-religious humanism, is that serving a system of belief instead of the independent, alive, will of God?
