"But don't you know *there are no absolutes*."
Do you believe that there is such a thing as objective reality?; that the existence of the world is not dependent on who the observer is?
If so, you need to talk to muawiyah. He/she says that objective reality doesn't exist (not just that we can't know it with certainty). Also, he/she claims that Christians don't believe that the Bible is objectively true. He/she also claimed that the universe could be a construct of his mind.
He/she is not one of us. What say you?

You'll have to excuse Carolinaguitano today ~ he thinks he's the Pope.
He is also busy conflating the existence of a written/printed text with the Scriptures ~

I do believe in absolutes and objective reality. I guess I should have added the sarcasm tag concerning that statement. I've had the *there are no absolutes* used on me often enough.
I think, however, that being truly objective is very difficult. Our point of view tends to color what we see way too much and there's always room for error because there's always some decision made that is just a matter of judgement. Our interpretation is often colored by how we feel, or what we're thinking of at the moment.
