> If they're using different forms of logic, then they're both right according to the form they're using,

Absurd. Knowledge is impossible if both are right. You're bad at this.

> but they can't be compared to each other unless they're using the same kind of logic.

Says who? Your conventions? What if my "conventions" of logic say the can be compared if they're different systems of logic? You're imposing a "law" of "you can't compare when I say so."

Silly reasoning is silly.




You're denying that different forms of logic exist, so we're done.


Ummm, no. I don't deny different forms of logic.

I'm telling you that you can't know anything or say something is rational or irrational with conventions of logic.

I'm also pointing out your treating laws of logic like laws (yay! I commend you for treating them like laws), but you are coming from a worldview that doesn't allow for laws (boo! inconsistency!).

This is where materialists bow out because they don't want to dig too deeply into their presuppositions.

Stawman, that point is not in dispute.

> but you are coming from a worldview that doesn't allow for laws (boo! inconsistency!).

No I'm not. Your notion that materialism doesn't allow logic is simply wrong. You don't know what materialism is and I'm tired of repeating myself on that point why you continue to skirt the issue and ignore that.

> This is where materialists bow out because they don't want to dig too deeply into their presuppositions.

No, they bow out because you're clearly irrational and unable to engage in meaningful conversation because you don't address points being made to you. You just ignore them and keep saying the same non-sense that's being challenged.
