It seems you might be distracted. Again, to clarify: my comments don’t ask you to depend on people, or oblige you to insist that you “have no desire to discredit individuals.” I’m only asking that you investigate certain ideas for yourself. Your mistake is to reject the ideas because you don’t trust particular people, such as me—the anonymous poster—and others whose work I reference. In looking for truth, only the ideas need be held accountable.
But your handicap is relativism. It cripples everything you think and everything you say. For example, your statement “It’s factually true,” is subject to becoming “It’s factually untrue,” while yet referring to the same “it.” This change from true to untrue is random, unpredictable and can happen at any moment. It is the nature of the death of leftist ideology—meaninglessness.
Meaninglessness plagues the mind of the everyday liberal with that gnawing sense of emptiness, the unquenchable yearning for authenticity. Unquenchable, until progressivism is abandoned. I hope you can free yourself of this obstacle to truth, as I hope for any neighbor.
(I’m not asserting you’re a leftist. But it’s clear you’ve unknowingly adopted leftist thinking.)
Think of it this way: relativism separates the torque of your engine from solid ground. This is why your vehicle is at a standstill. Take the thing out of neutral. But hold on tight.
Reality can be scary without trust in the Lord God, Creator of the Universe, he who is before all things and to whom all glory belongs. He is your Creator, as he is my Creator.
May God bless you and bring you wisdom, according to his will.
LOL, and the rest of your post is all about me! How consistent.
And my answer to you will be exactly what you wrote, except I will change the terms to show you how relativism works both ways:
"But your handicap is relativism absolutism. It cripples everything you think and everything you say. For example, your statement “It’s factually true,” is subject to becoming “It’s factually untrue,” while yet referring to the same “it.”
This change from true to untrue is random, unpredictable and can happen at any moment. It is the nature of the death of leftist absolutist ideology [be it left or right]—meaninglessness.
Meaninglessness plagues the mind of the everyday liberal absolutist with that gnawing sense of emptiness, the unquenchable yearning for authenticity. Unquenchable, until progressivism dogmatism of every kind is abandoned. I hope you can free yourself of this obstacle to truth, as I hope for any neighbor.
(I’m not asserting you’re a leftist absolutist [of any kind]. But it’s clear you’ve unknowingly adopted leftist dogmatic thinking.)
Think of it this way: relativism absolutism separates the torque of your engine from solid ground. This is why your vehicle is at a standstill. Take the thing out of neutral. But hold on tight.
[To illustrate what I mean] Reality can be scary without trust in the Lord God, Creator of the Universe, he who is before all things and to whom all glory belongs. He is your Creator, as he is my Creator [because I say so].
[Therefore] May God bless you and bring you wisdom, according to his will."
