First, on relativism (not relativity). Liberals have it wrong. Their entire worldview is based on the false premise that absolute truth doesn’t exist. For this reason, they have no real access to rational discourse.

I would ask you take a look at a graph of an asymptote—it’s a perfect illustration of the foolishness of progressives (given the context of my statements above).

As for the rest of your responses, let’s go back a few years. Bill Clinton: “That depends on what the meaning of the word is is.” A moderately clever remark—if it had been uttered by a slightly intelligent twelve year old.

This is exactly what you’re doing, when you draw new lines in the sand each time your latest argument faces defeat, and when you question the definition of the word spiritual, or of God.

In any other conversation, many times in your life, you make use of these terms with no hint that you’re afraid they don’t have meaning. But here, as a licensed relativist, you suddenly put them into the category of “undefined” only because you think it suits your needs. Somehow, you’ve been duped into using the double tongue of a lawyer while convincing yourself you’re “not leftist.”

Again, relativism is foolishness in every sense of the word.

On the reliability of the Bible, and on evidence for the truth of Christian doctrine, look up the works of Craig Blomberg, William Lane Craig, Lee Strobel, and Gary Habermas.

There is absolute truth but it's not accessible to human minds because we don't know everything there is to know.

Instead of wasting your keystrokes on empty personal labels, why don't you just tell me what is spiritual and what God is?

Really? Presumptuous aren't we?.

Why should I take your word or the words of other ordinary human beings?
