Nothing new.From your understanding is there some reason why a different or all religion/s cannot adopt this approach and thus demonstrate that all gods must exist and are responsible for logic etc? What's unique about the xtian trinity?
Why are you asking Rhythm these things? He didn’t even know what presuppositional apologetics were until he looked it up on Wiki about three weeks ago.
It presents an internal critique of worldviews; the only worldview that can make sense of the preconditions of intelligibility is the Christian worldview, so it is deemed true through the process of negation (the impossibility of it not being true). The only other worldviews that can even come close are Islam, Mormonism and other perversions of the Judeo-Christian worldview. If you want to know why these worldviews fail we can certainly go into that. However, atheism is destroyed by the apologetic and so adhering to it is irrational.
