The Deconstruction Movement and Choosing One's Own Truth
The deconstruction movement is characterized by individuals choosing their own truth rather than submitting to an objective truth. It encourages people to determine their beliefs based on personal preferences and feelings rather than aligning them with an external source of authority, such as scripture or established doctrine. This emphasis on personal autonomy and subjectivity can lead to the rejection of traditional Christian teachings and a more relativistic approach to faith.
