Try to postulate a purely non-Christian and naturalistic epistemology and we can certainly find out. :-P

The rest of us are stuck with the real world, though. No room for fucking gods.

Yup, lonely me and 2.3 billion other people on Earth, lol.

Without being able to explain how you can trust your senses, your memory, induction, your ability to reason, and the laws of deductive logic you have no criteria for reality; you’ve adopted a view of reality that is utterly indefensible. The funniest part is that you were so busy trying to defend your self-refuting and therefore false criteria for truth and reality that you never bothered to ask me if I had a criteria or not. The fact your criteria utterly fails does not prove that I do not have a logically coherent and cogent criteria; such arrogance amongst fools.
