Wrangler, suppose there is a God. Since God is omnipotent…can he create a rock he cannot lift?
Now that's original! How about not insulting us with old riddles?

God can do anything he wants to.Wrangler, suppose there is a God. Since God is omnipotent…can he create a rock he cannot lift?
Acting despite not knowing everything is one thing, thinking that you know everything without admitting that you don’t know is another.
The religious will never say that they don’t know whether there is a god or not. Instead they have the origin of the universe and what happens after death all figured out already.
Did you ever answer my A or B question regarding inherently contradictory statements?It’s quite the opposite. Being intellectually lazy would be not using your intellect to see its own limitations
Oh boy! You're introducing politics now, rather than abstract reasoning to make your case. You're all over the place.People disagree on the basics all the time. You would think there are only two genders but half this country believes otherwise.
All truth is absolute.When you look at a woman for example, saying that she is a woman would be partial, not absolute truth.
I already proves it multiple times but you are in denial of it. See my A or B question.If you believe there are absolutes, then you would have to prove it-which you can’t.
Completely wrong.For example you can’t say the sky is blue as an absolute truth because to someone else it may not be blue. ‘Objective reality’ is a conceptual fantasy.
Nonsense. Most religious and philosphical people hold to absolute truth.You are not the only one who thinks they have the absolute truth.
I am well aware that saying “There are no absolutes” is self contradictory, so when I say that..I say it loosely..as an understanding not as just another absolute truth. It’s the best language can do, eventually it falls apart logically because logic is limited.

Friend, you are confused as postmodernism is confused. Consciousness is not primary over existence, over objective reality.Any framework of reality is just a tool to navigate it. The framework itself belongs to reality, reality doesn’t belong to the framework.

No one is doing that.
And this offends you, because?
Without consciousness, we wouldn’t even be able to have this conversation.
Consider the possibility that consciousness is the reality of everything and what we refer to as ‘objective reality’ is the mind’s way of refracting infinite reality into a multiplicity of forms
Since language and definitions are are limited, how can something limited be an epistemological guardian of falsehood?
I admit I contradict myself and for good reason-because I don’t know anything at all.
You are trapped in a conceptual fortress where you have mistaken concepts as being ultimate reality.
Which of these statements is inherently self-contradictory:
A. There are absolutes.
B. There are no absolutes.
