Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth

[wiploc]

In a different thread, an atheist indicated that absolute truth is a difficult view to give up.

I know what truth is.  What do you mean by "absolute" truth? 

Your argument is interesting because normally it is Christians who say things like, "This is true for me but not for you," and who attack science and logic. 

I'm an atheist, even a strong atheist (I believe there are no gods), who believes truth exists.  I agree with you that the statement, "There is no truth," is self-refuting.  (I'm guessing that absolute truth is just the same thing as regular truth.)

Change of topic:  Can anybody tell me how to interrupt a quotation so I can insert my own comments? 

I'm used to putting [/quote] to stop a quote, and [quote] to start it again, but that doesn't seem to work here.
