    There is no objective truth. You wanting to project objective truth does not make it more real. Reality is a mystery, and using tools incorrectly to fool yourself into objective truth is a miscarriage of science.

    You’re trying to apply materialism to allegory. Evaluating religion this way is a meaningless argument.

      Is the statement that there is no objective truth objectively true? If so, there is some objective truth, and the statement is false. Like I said, it’s a self-defeating claim.

          What does set theory have to do with absolute truth? And if there is no absolute truth, how can any aspect of set theory be valid?

              It’s a simple question. Can you explain? I’m not gonna go and substantiate your argument for you.

                I can, but I won’t. This is no longer an entertaining use of my time. I’m not going to explain the implications of Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem to someone with such a shaky grasp of epistemology. Pearls before swine.

                  It’s odd that you won’t explain your epistemology to someone, but you will claim moral/intellectual superiority in not explaining an actually important point after debating them on the hypothetical sentience of the sun for over a day. You can throw all the names of theorems you want at a conversation. but the simple fact is that “there is no absolute truth” is a self-contradictory statement. Any philosophy you build on such a fragile foundation is a non-starter.

                    Which is precisely why I’m not going to explain epistemology to someone who has repeatedly demonstrated poor logical methodology.
