The "thesis seems to be that there is no such thing as truth; but even if there were, it would be unknowable in principle. Therefore, all there can be is opinion. And one man's opinion is just as good as any other man's." . . . wherever I've ran onto it, in my 63 years — most of them around college campuses where lots of budding Bertrand Russels love to pretend they are erudite, novel, brilliant and progressive in spouting such pontifications . . . such a perspective has always shown itself, to me, that it IS, imho, a pretty clunky and transparent rationalization for a somewhat haughty, smug, self-deceived rebellion.... I just know it seems to be pervasively true for those spouting such a perspective. I think the motivation and certainly the result is that the one claiming to hold such a perspective is pseudo-intellectually deluded into construing reality such that they FEEL at least partially FREED to create their own reality to their own inclinations

I have thought and prayed long and hard about this, dear brother in Christ; and it seems to me the only true freedom that human beings have is freedom in and under God.

Anything else is mere "license." It has no foundation in truth. That is, it is a delusional "freedom." Usually self-delusional.

Thank you ever so much, dear brother in Christ, for your outstanding observations!
