No, that is not ultimate to assert that. you're recognizing which you do not know if there is any tea in China, for this reason you're recognizing the potential of you being incorrect. Atheists do no such element. Atheists have self assurance they are a hundred% ultimate, merely like Christians and different religious persons sense they are a hundred% ultimate. Atheists and non secular persons deal basically in extremes. This does exist. this would not exist. Agnostic persons do not look at issues that way. they'd say this would exist, or this in all possibility would not exist. Agnostic and Atheists are apples and organges. to religious persons they'd look a similar by way of fact they have not got self assurance what *they* do, yet in somewhat actuality they are very distinctive from one yet another. As an Agnostic guy or woman myself, i'd be insulted if somebody labeled me as Atheist. i'm not smug sufficient to declare to correctly known how each and everything works, and how by way of fact i don't think in some thing it can not exist. to not point out maximum Atheists look anti-Christian, somewhat than somewhat Atheist. that is as though they think of that's the only faith available, so the alternative is barely between Christianity or Atheism.

It was in the tone of your presentation. It sounded like you want to prove something to them. And usually when someone starts out a sentence the way you did, an Atheist, or even a Christian like me, would assume that your Absolute Truth is a form of God.
And I think that people here are use to Christian's using the term that is used in the study of world religions, which is Ultimate Reality.
Basically I think that they can just read your mind. You are trying to prove your theory and it shows in the way you present the question. Maybe you need to take a lesson from the people in Psychology who take polls. There is a way to ask without leading the witness, so to speak.

There are absolutes in the world. They are called FACTS. They are objective.
I did not suggest you meant god when you mentioned absolute truth, but the idea that there is any absolute outside of objective observation is ludicrous. Truth is a subjective term, and will always be relative to the person or persons observing it.
(deep down I'm even more certain there is no god, than I am shallow up.)

Absolute Truth means there are no exceptions. God's truth is absolute. Objective. Great security in this.
Is Truth Objective or Subjective?
A article that examines the nature of truth. Is truth objective or subjective? Can it be both? ... We might logically conclude God's existence but apart from ...

Seeing that people are so diverse, the idea of "absolute truth" in itself suggests that it comes from something more constant and consistent than the minds of humans. That's where "god" factors into your question.
And considering that only illogical thinking leads to something higher than human intelligence (a higher power, if you will), you are correct -- logic will never lead us to absolute truth.

What section did you ask you question in. On another account I ask stuff like should I go into a convenience store wearing a ski mask and I get answers about god.(I'm a troll in this section on another account)

you aimed the question at atheists, who deny the existance of god and follow logic, if you are doubting logic and talking about an absolute truth and you obviously are not an atheist, what are they supposed to think? you playing with words and trying to outsmart atheists is pointless as atheists are not the ones trying to persuade you to not believe, we believe each to their own, when are you religious fanatics going to respect that?

First: No.
Second: You posted it in the R&S section and asked specifically about atheists; your intent was clear enough.
Third: Even if some of us want to believe in a god, it doesn't mean that a god exists or even that we can believe in one. But the judeo-christian one is certainly not one I'd want to believe in.

It's simply because you specifically addressed that question to Atheists as though it were a challenge. By very definition, to challenge an Atheist would be to challenge them about the existence of God. So it's understandable why people made that assumption.
