[quote]So how do you manage to account for laws of logic and why should I follow them if truth is relative? [/quote]
(1) They are called 'the rules of inference',and are not laws.
(2) Logic does NOT guarantee truth.
A logical inference (conclusion) may be valid yet untrue. The conclusion is true IF AND ONLY IF the premise is true.
I appreciate your wiki reference which seems to be the defense for faith commonly used here.
This conclusion you made about logic being a rule is an arbitrary statement. (Especially coming from wikipedia)
i.e. The law of non contradiction will never be broken. You can't have A exist and not have A at the same time in the same relationship.
Logic not guaranteeing truth is irrelevant for you to bring up since you think truth is relative. I can make truth whatever I want it to be if I use your standards for truth. All I have to do is say I'm right and your wrong like many do on these forums.
Again you have not accounted for immaterial laws of logic in a strictly material universe.
Go ahead.

James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
