And your argument against moral relativism is "there is a God."
Because God is Truth itself.
So if you don't believe in God you don't believe in truth.
This is the philosophical difference that matters, and why folks like libertarians are just liberals.
How can morality exist without God?
To posit that any morality exists outside of the belief that God exists is either a fallacy or intentional dishonesty, yes?

Well, I have demonstrated my argument. You do not believe in truth.
No?
And your question is a loaded one, I'm not saying nothing I say can be objectively true.
I'm saying your basis of truth relies on the existence of God. If God doesn't exist, then nothing could be true.
At the very core of your reckoning of objective truth, is God. You believe that if a person doesn't believe in God, they're missing that core, it's a house without a foundation and easily toppled.
So does A=A?

You cannot have liberalism without idealism, and idealism always always always results in sophistry.
To the man who disbelieves he can know objective truth, all language is nothing more than a weapon to use in manipulation, deception, or the achievement of power. There is no other reason to engage with another outside mundane communication problems.
Men like me seek to argue about what is best and true, whereas the liberal man only uses argument in the pursuit of power and influence. At best it is a game to the liberal that he characterizes as "competing narratives".

It appears to me that people who think they're being 100% factual aren't in fact being 100% factual, that their inaccuracies aren't intentional.
