Substitute "intuitive mind" for "HOLY SPIRIT" and we might find some common ground. Suffice to say that anyone capable of original, creative work knows the difference between the gift of insight and the machinations of the rational mind. New ground is opened by the intuitive mind and which then becomes charted and settled by the rational mind. Both are important and no one is forced to specialize.
Obviously our common ground won't be all inclusive. For example, I'm not sure what to make of your claim that all else is "lies".
I like you whateverist! You are one of the few here that can makes sense of your reasoning w/o the bs!
You can call the Holy Spirit an intuitive mind, or even feelings if you like! But the Holy Spirit represents "ABSOLUTE TRUTH"!
What else can be called that? What do we know as absolute truth? Things we see? Things others tell us? Math? Science? People?
No! ITS ALL TAINTED.
There is all around us truth, but we refuse to believe that it is of "intrinsic value". Therefore we suffer as a result.
If there is no absolute truth in what we see or know, where are we to turn?
So, the circular reasoning belongs to you my friends. And those who refuse God.
Quis ut Deus?
