Just because I didn't mention agnosticism does not mean I was ruling it out. I am of course agnostic on the matter of absolute truths/perfection, etc.. I just no of no evidence for them, and therefore no reason to believe.
@ Purple Rabbit, well, lol, when I said "sorry", I was being polite - it's not like there was something to feel remorse about. But, I take it that you were just being polite in return
I believe that 'absolute perfection' is unknowable by mortal observers such as ourselves, for we cannot absolutely know that it does or does not exist. Because in order for that to be possible, we would have to have absolute powers of perfection ourselves, we would perhaps have to be infallible and omniscient such as "God", or at least our reasoning capabilities would have to wield absolute powers of knowing.
How can we absolutely know whether the absolute does or does not exist? To know absolutely, our 'knowing' abilities would have to be, at least in some sense - absolute. I would think?
@ The VOID. I would too think that perfection is an entirely subjective thing. But how can you absolutely know that it cannot exist absolutely? You can't know that without absolute reasoning capabilities yourself, right?
I believe I am right in thinking that you do not claim to absolutely know, that absolute perfection absolutely doesn't exist, but just to clarify.
And I would think that both me, PR, and yourself don't actually believe in absolute perfection, we are merely discussing the matter of possibility here, I would think? And I am open to the possibility. I would think that the three of us are? Probability, and whether there's evidence for it or not, is another matter, I would think?
