"Is there a school of thought so empty, so vacuous, so pretentious, so wantonly obscurantist,
so stupefyingly boring that even a full-frontal attack on it cannot be read without an exasperated yawn?
Yes. It is called postmodernism."
- Richard Dawkins (blurb on Cynical Theories)
The atheist Richard Dawkins is no theological friend of mine. When he published The God Delusion I made over forty blog posts on it. God Delusion was a banquet of bad philosophical reasoning.
Yet, Dawkins and I do join forces over the absurdities of postmodern philosophy. See Dawkins's article "Postmodernism Disrobed." (Nature, Vol. 394, 9 July 1998) Here Dawkins reviews physicists' Alan Sokol and Jean Bricmont's book Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science.
(The ethos of progressive Christianity, sadly, exudes postmodernism. See my book Deconstructing Progressive Christianity.)
