Comedian Tweets About Christianity and Leftists Can’t Handle It
Norm Macdonald is probably best known as a comedian, but apparently, he’s also a deep-thinking philosopher, intent on explaining the decline and fall of Western civilization to the masses. Only Norm Macdonald does it using Twitter.
Thursday morning, he had a message about the Enlightenment that was at once shocking (because it came from Norm Macdonald) and thought-provoking.
The Enlightenment turned us away from truth and toward a darkling weakening horizon, sad and grey to see. The afterglow of Christianity is near gone now, and a stygian silence lurks in wait.

Macdonald is obviously alluding to the switch, in art, from the sacred to the imitation and depiction of the Sacred to the human-focused philosophies of the post-Modern world. In the parlance of a Macdonald-era Saturday Night Live sketch, those are some deep thoughts.
But, as most deep thoughts go, Norm’s effort at eulogizing Christianity confused and befuddled social media. And leftists, ever-vigilant of the possibility that someone in the entertainment may be turning from “group think,” were left incensed. But also confused.
So…you’re against THE ENLIGHTENMENT? Really? The invention of the printing press- ? The scientific method? Knowledge?

The dark ages were a blast.

You're right. We should go back to Fuedalism. Things were much better when priests and kings held all the political power and common men were left to die in the same station they were born in. We should do away with the philosophies that led to modern science and medicine.
