The Limits of Diversity

The goal of producing a pluralist society can never be more than a heuristic and will inevitably turn into a covert means of excluding certain groups of people. You cannot include everyone in society. The secular understanding of diversity presupposes a certain metaphysical agnosticism: viz., either there is no ultimate truth, or if there is you can't know it, and if you did know it you couldn't communicate it to others. Unfortunately, this agnosticism must be taken dogmatically and becomes an axiom whereby some groups will not be included under the umbrella of tolerance. Wahhabism is only now beginning to expose the hypocrisy of the secular conception of diversity to the public consciousness.

Diversity is a religious concept. Secularity—conceived as that which is beyond religion—is incapable of producing any authentic form of diversity in society. The limit of diversity is always marked by reprobation. Diversity can be an attribute of the Elect, but always excludes the Reprobate. I'm using Christian terminology here, but this applies across the board. The terms may be different, as are the consequences of "reprobation", but the dynamic of inclusion/exclusion is universal.

Perhaps the most frightening thought is a secular reprobation. Nazi racial purification was a false temporalization of the Last Judgment. In it, Hitler assumed to possess the holiness of God. This assumption will always lead to one atrocity or another, but so will the assumption that God Himself does not possess this holiness.
