Something that came up in class this week was that the people who criticize progressivism are being more rational because they are realizing that human nature is more complicated than what progressives are making it seem. I am not going to take a side on this as I believe there are good arguments for both sides however, I do understand what is being said in this claim. What is being said here is that you can rely on the man to a certain extent because you never know the intentions of humans and what their ulterior motives are which makes this a fair critique in my eyes. I am not saying that God is the answer but, I think you are putting too much at stake by relying on the individual too heavily. I believe that there should be a balance however, it seems like each point of view is very extreme. The supporters of religion and the supporters of progressiveness treat this dynamic like it is all or nothing. You are either one hundred percent bought in to God or one hundred percent bought in to the man. There needs to be a balance as too much of anything does not end up well. I also think that progressives are so bought in on the end goal of utopia but that is just not realistic in my opinion. This world has never been perfect and it most likely never will be because the world is too complex for that to become a reality.
