“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, were 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 weve identified another source of your confusion.
I know youre not a leftist, but this is another fundamental principle of leftist ideology youve adopted: that people and personalities are what really we need to depend on—instead of ideas.
It's factually true. We don't know everything, ergo we can't know the whole truth.

Your tagline has nothing to do with my statement regarding absolute truth. Besides, you need to prove your tagline because it's your assertion, not mine.

Who cares what others have done? I asked you, since you used the terms as if you knew them.

I have no desire to discredit individuals. And, in case you dind't notice, this is not a "political" forum. We are debating other people's ideas about what deity is. If I disagree with someone's ideas about God that doesn't make me "anti-God" or "liberal"! I am not anti-God in any way. But I have many reasons to disagree with what people have made God out to be in their own minds.
As I've said in previous posts, I don't know who or what God is, so I ask those who claim they do. That doesn't mean I am ready to accept everyone's explanation, especially if I can find objections to them.
But if they say "this is what I believe" then that's their faith and I leave it alone. I don't debate anyone's beliefs. Only their arguments.
