I don't believe in your radical relativism, and moreover, I can prove it.

You have a rational mind, and the mind is attracted to truth, just as the eye is attracted to light, and finds in it its real satisfaction.

God Himself did not make you into a relativist, because God Himself says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and He has made you in His image and likeness, though that image may be trodden down, wounded and obscured.

If you insist of the logical consequences of "there is no absolute truth" or "truth is un-knowable," it reduces to absurdam very quickly indeed.

It is a discussion-stopper (you will already have experienced this); it is a thought-stopper; it can also be a life-stopper, since a reasonable person finds an absurd existence intolerable.

Cry out for your own sake; cry out for your well-being on the chance someone is there to hear.

Why do you say the mind is attracted to truth? Isn’t it attracted to untruths also?

Everything you say, is relative to your faith, isn’t it...or what you would call the truth.

Why does it reduce to absurdum?

Of course it’s a discussion-stopper. Why do you think these discussions have been going on forever?
