A look at the site's Suggested Reading page--

http://www.halcyon.com/postmod/read.html

--reveals it to be steeped in a kind of evangelical Christian rhetoric that
demonizes postmodernism.  Here's a barely M&D-related sample from 

Postmodern Times: Facing a World of New Challenges & Opportunities 
http://www.capo.org/premise/95/sep/p950807.html

"The modern era began with the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century and
accelerated through the first half of the twentieth century. Although this
span of time included many dissenting voices, in general it could be
described as an Age of Scientific Reason. Reason, of course, was developed
to dizzying heights by the premodern classicists of Greece, Rome, and the
Middle Ages. Science had its origins among Bible-believing Christians of
the seventeenth century...."
