I never called you any names, and I never intended for you to feel that way. Please forgive me if you feel I have done anything like that.

The fact of the matter is that God has made Himself known to mankind, through His Word. Your belief is that there is no absolute Truth. I pray that you will reconsider and discover that God truly wants you to be one of His children. And the only way to do that is to come to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

God Bless.

I apologise, I took the term irrational, too personally. I was bothered by the more recent entries to this thread, which don't have anything positive to say.

I believe that it is inherent in us humans to strive, with all our might, for absolute truths. But throughout the history of mankind, there has just not been evidence of the existence of an absolute truths. Everything is situational. It would seem that an absolute truth, by definition, would be so absolute, that none could deny it. I have yet to see this. As an example, I will use the taking of a human life. One would think that this has to be an absolute truth...that it is horribly wrong. Yet, there are so many examples of the taking of human lives that are considered moral....war, self-defence, etc., and so many that are considered immoral, murder, abortion, etc. They both have the same result, a human life is removed. This, to me, is what I consider morally relative.

As I said, if I wake up tomorrow morning, believing differently, then so be it.
