That word has a very specific rational meaning. Use of the word requires supporting fact and reason to justify use of the word.
Since you seem to be defending it, can I take it that you are happy to take his claim on faith, without any sort of supporting fact and reason?
False dichotomy (both, please)
Do you take it on faith that there are no invisible purple unicorns prancing around you this very minute? Or that you are being screwed up the butt by beings from another universe who can make pleasure themselves without you realizing it? Or do you just assume these sorts of things aren't real because there is no evidence to support them?
If someone makes a truth claim to you, that there are invisible purple unicorn from another dimension screwing you in the ass right this minute, but you cannot feel it because they are outside our dimension, what would your response be?
I have no opinions on invisible purple unicorns. If someone were to make the truth claim that there are invisible unicorns screwing me in the ass right this minute, I would however naturally be very curious and would ask the person - what is your evidence for this truth claim?
So, back to my unanswered question. Do you take Christopher's claim on faith?
