You accused the man of constructing a Straw Man argument then failed completely when challenged to substantiate your accusation.

Holding you to your own standards where you demand "link or lie" that makes you are a liar. (Just being frank and honest here)

"His actual assertions are not empirical"

Of course they are. His statements about the content of Monistic beliefs are factual doctrinal statements that are easily confirmed or refuted. If you claimed that Christianity denies that Jesus is the third person of the Trinity your claim would be just as easy to refute. Constructing a Straw Man involves making statements and then criticizing the untruthful statements instead of the actual position. He stated the doctrinal positions of Eastern Pantheistic Monism correctly and then contrasted them with the Christian position. That is not Straw Man argumentation and it's dishonest of you to claim that it is.
