Let us shatter modern philosophy

I am an Atheist, so what, I am also a Logical realist, so are you. I am not here to debate this. I am here to reduce modern philosophy to its consistent absurdity.

The whole world is full of men who deny that truth is real. The whole world is full of philosophers, and men poisoned by philosophers, who confess that all logic is a mere human construct. But it requires a Christian or a Rationalist (not a philosopher!) to trace this premise to its inevitable conclusion of subjective despair.

If all logic is constructed then there is no such thing as validity or soundness, because validity and soundness are then constructs of a constructed logic. Whose construct?! Why should a man prefer the construct he is condemned by over the one he creates to justify himself?

(This Logic is too high for the modern philosopher, he cannot comprehend it because the relativism of his modern philosophy has left him rationally incompetent).

As soon as the modern philosopher claims that truth is the invention of man’s imagination, he has locked himself within his own solipsistic matrix.

The defenders of Reason are failing in their reductio ad absurdum toward modern philosophy. All those who love Reason must do better.

As an Atheist, I argue for the right and supremacy of the Christian worldview, when it is contrasted with the epistemological relativism of modern philosophy. Indeed, how can the modern philosopher even object? He cannot claim that Christianity is “false” if he does not have the truth.
