What it is and what gets us there are two separate things. The idea of the "actual truth" is whatever may turn out to be the way things stand. As you are so fond of reminding us, rationalism and empiricism only take us so far. (Though I consider this glass much more than half full.) But where rationalism and empiricism leave off we each fall off into our own speculation. No ones speculation is privileged over that of anyone else. It isn't as though you have given us any reason to follow your view of what lies beyond reason and empiricism. You say Christianity fills the bill for you. Fine and good. We all have our pet theories. Enjoy yours.
