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

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?

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

Really? Presumptuous aren't we?.

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

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

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

Is this statement true in an absolute sense? If not, then under what circumstances is it true and under what circumstances false? (Prove my tagline wrong, I dare you.)

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

These things have been explained to you many times by other posters who know a lot more than I know.

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

Remember, we’re not debating the credibility of individuals. Rather, the disagreement is over the validity of particular ideas. This is extremely important to understand, for anyone participating in political discourse, anywhere. It seems we’ve identified another source of your confusion.

I know you’re not a leftist, but this is another fundamental principle of leftist ideology you’ve adopted: that people and personalities are what really we need to depend on—instead of ideas.
