If there is no absolute knowledge of God and from God in his revelation, then the only absolute in any man's life is himself. Every man is his own god, his own law, and his own source of knowledge.

That's pretty much what the Sophist position was, back in classical Athens. Funny how this particular strain of thought keeps returning. When it does, it's usually a sign of a social decline leading up to a very big bust....

Thanks for this very fine post, I got the rope.

And then a phoenix of literature. Tragedy for the age of scarcity; satire for years of swollen surfeit. It was a mix for Plato and Shakespear.
