In a national newspaper dated 09-15-06 was the following: Jurgen Habermas is one of Germany's foremost philosophers and a professed secularist. Having spent nearly half a century arguing against religiously informed moral arguments, Mr. Habermas made some arresting statements in his 2004 essay, "A Time of Transition."

"Christianity and nothing else," he wrote, "is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of western civilization. To this day, we have no other options ( to Christianity). We continue to nourish our selves from this source. Everything else is postmodern chatter." I think that says it all. Every ideology and philosophy other than Christianity is only a cacophony of noise and empty chatter. Everything except Christianity brings disappointment of every expectation we place in it.
