Drinking one six-pack today would have been sufficient .... here's what Solon posted to you on your idea of your Universal Truths Expect WHAT truths to emerge, Greg? Whatever truths you are speaking of, Greg--they do not emerge from the universe. They are considered opinions of fact, apprehended by consciousness and conveyed by language. They are not magical pieces of crap floating down out of the universe. percieved and apprehended , and continue to be so. What part didn't you understand between gulps?

NO RULES (anarchy) but then tried to assert reason as an overarching GOVERNING principal as a guide to correct action. That's as non sequitur as it gets, are you OK? Once again, Greg (sigh): Having no Government does not predicate having no brain. It is so simple that I can't help but think you are putting on an act. I mean, you work the clay with your hands not your head. You could indeed use force and it wouldn't be wrong either would it Be a good parent, Greg; tell that to your kids. And while you are at it, explain to them that the only people in the world who understand what wrong is are those who have read and accepted your tribal God (this gets too amusing)! Billions and billions NOT served! LOL! You are a real card... Oh this is the best part. YOU SAY THAT AS IF IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE! No, Greg; only as if it were LOGICALLY true. You may continue to think illogically if you wish to. Just like I don't have to have all knowledge about electricity to turn on my computer. HA! You can EXPERIENCE electricity in the natural world. You can't experience ABSOLUTE knowledge--because you are not a god--are you!!? Who are you to say that God who is absolute, could not communicate with someone who is finite, and reveal to them that absolute truth exists ANYBODY can tell you that absolute truth exists. Some old tribesman can write it on a scroll. But you can NEVER verify that what that person said is true--because you (hello in there!) are NOT God! In case you have not already discovered it: Your brain is finite, limited, imperfect, and subject to the most gross errors.

"I don't have to posses absolute knowledge to know that it exists. Just like I don't have to have all knowledge about electricity to turn on my computer. Who are you to say that God who is absolute, could not communicate with someone who is finite, and reveal to them that absolute truth exists. Try to get a grip old boy." Good point, but you are trying to persuade a control freak that he doesn't get to control the truth. I don't think you'll get far but you show ganas for trying.
