> He used "I don't" at the end of this claim. He did! I knew :-). But That was not what I was addressing. The point at issue was " ... Otherwise it's all kind of pointless ... " ie *IF* there is no absolute external refere nce then there is no "point" to ANYTHING. No right or wrong. No must or should. No true or beautiful or evil or perverted or warped. Everything just "is". Or, it would be if this assumption was true :-) And, unlike most people, he clearly recognises this. This makes no statement at all about whether God (or Gods or gods or whatever) exist(s) externally - just that if not, then our system is unable to produce absolutes. And, without absolutes all the above are just convenient figments of our creation. Unmaned_list_owner claims that we can create local systems of absolute absolueness to serve our own purposes. I understand what he means BUT he's demonstrably wrong. All I have to say is eg "No - that's a load of rubbish!" and the ensuing conversation proves my point :-). But, he's not convinced. Of course :-) Russell > I knew that inevitably that the conversion will come to > the question of > GOD's existance or not :) It yet may.
