Impossible Neutrality: An Analogy from Humanistic Geography
Jimmy Li
It is often assumed naively by many Christians and non-Christians that there is an actual position of neutrality that could be the beginning point by both parties in the discussion of the truthfulness of the Gospel and Christianity. It is assumed therefore, that because there can be such a philosophical position of religious neutrality when it comes to the claim of the truthfulness of the Christianity, thus, it is also possible to have neutral facts and neutral description of the world. This article would seek to further enlighten on the impossibility of religious neutrality by drawing from the analogy of humanistic geography in order to show how there can not be any description of this world (anything and anywhere) that is somehow religiously neutral.
