Hi Karen Merry Christmas :) I think we touched on this before but it's glaringly obvious that Sullivan is saying in essence is that it's absolutely necessary that every one thinks like him if we are going to get along, or as the articles writer noted; "The only good religion is a relativist one." If that's true, then that is an absolute statement about reality, and it is Sulliban who most closely resembles the Taliban. If it's a false statement, then it's completely irrelevant. Which do you think it is? Of course the statement that; "in a world of absolute truth . . . there is no room for dissent." is not necessarily true. but it could also, and more accurately be said, that in a world devoid of absolutes, there is no basis for saying anything is better or worse than anything else. I don't really think Sulliban and his buds have thought this through. Since Sulliban's argument must assume absolutes exist for it to be meaningful it is therefore self refuting. I sincerely hope you will have an incredibly festive whatever. Oh, and Happy New Year too. Greg
