"I think it is fair to presume that everyone here, including your good self, is doing likewise."

And that would be a very worng assumption. Christianity teaches that God is the object and we are just subjects and that is how we percieve reality. My presuppositions start with revelation, thus my conception of truth is a purely objective metaphysic. As with any Christian. It is only the world which views realitly from a self centered inherently subjective vantage point.

It would be a wrong assumption that you are writing from a human perspective? That’s a very big claim to make, if you’ll forgive my saying so.

Even amongst Christians, we differ in our precise interpretations of Truth: and not everyone can be presumed to be a Catholic, or indeed a Christian, even here on FR. You may well have presuppositions concerning revelation, but others will have variant ones: often likewise held validity and honestly and in the belief and hope of salvation. It’s not my place, or yours, to be their ultimate Judge: each of us can only strive to defend and live up to what we believe, to the best of our ability, whilst praying for forgiveness for those areas in which we will inevitably err.

My original point was, and remains, that whilst you, I or anyone else posting here may have differing beliefs or interpretations as to the nature of God’s Revelation, how we choose to pursue and defend our beliefs should be defined by (or in time may itself define) the nature of the beliefs themselves.
