Note, knowing a thing does not make one correct.

Surely that is a reasonable assumption? Smile

I would think so, yes Smile

I am an existential nihilist... and as such:

I once debated with someone who was trying to assert that everything requires faith and knowledge isn't truth. Which is sort of true. But in order to argue this, you have to dispose of our understanding or reality.

He was trying to show how faith is a reasonable position, which I disagreed. Big Grin

It makes an interesting debate subject, but it gets very baffling at times.
