Try and refute me first. Then I'll be more than willing to refute you.

OK. Your assertions are logically invalid. They incorrectly categorise "truths" as something in the natural world. They're not. An island is not a "truth". It's a body of land surrounded by water. I think that covers it, for the moment.

Now, about your answer to my quoted question above, and the rest of my second post?

Exist in what sense?

"I enjoy peanut butter sandwiches" is a true statement when stated by me. Does this truth exist in a meaningful way?

Did the truth that I enjoy peanut butter sandwiches exist before I discovered it? Did it exist before I existed?

Is there not a right minded individual among you? I am asking something so very reasonable. I have raised an argument or set of arguments, and all I'm asking you to do (if you can) is to refute me. I don't want to hear your poor sense of humour or witness you being evasive. Lets focus on the topic on hand. Prove me wrong. It's as simple as that. Prove my statements to be incorrect. You're asking for proof, my statements are proof therefore if I am wrong show me why I'm wrong. I've put my head on the guillotine here and have raised some arguments. If I am wrong then prove me wrong. Refute me.

Don't give me the excuse that I have placed a burden on you. All I'm simply asking is to prove me wrong.

Iseeyouthere I have not ignored you.

All I've written is 6 or 7 lines and Hardly any of you have been able to respond refuting such a short series of statements.

It's actually quite reassuring and I know it's heavy.

Yeah you have.
You haven't proven that what I said is wrong.
Must be too heavy on your mind.

Big words, those. Hope you don't trip over them.

And again, we don't have to disprove your assertions, you are required to provide evidence for them.

Well, first up i'm not even sure if I need or want to refute you, i've said i'm having a hard time understanding your points, I tried to give you my interpretation, and asked you to clarify based on that. Considering this passive aggressive wiffle that you respond with, i'd say your the one being evasive.

Clarify your OP, it's as simple as that.

Heavy? I'd say poorly worded, convoluted and confusing maybe.
