Meta-narrative

@kellyjay said
You do grasp my meaning, even if you don't agree with how I am defining the
word. There is an all-encompassing truth, and when we don't line up with it, we are
in error?

Is one person’s opinion on what is “all encompassing truth” more valid that another person’s opinion of “all encompassing truth” when there is no proof of either?

Speak for yourself, just know, that is all you will ever really do.

Surely everyone “speaks for themselves”.

Are you trying to speak for everyone?

I'm not talking about opinions, pay attention.

Saying there is a meta-narrative, an all-encompassing truth of all things, and saying
there isn't; are both statements that would apply to all things and everyone.

Okay, you clearly don't understand anything I've said. And you have your own personal definition of meta-narrative. Fine.

You didn't say anything contrary to what I was talking about; if you did, I did miss it.

All either of us is doing is sharing our subjective opinions. You "know" whatever you claim to "know" in the same way as my Muslim neighbours "know" what they claim to "know" and so on and so forth.

I get you like speculating and never drawing a conclusion; you cannot be wrong
doing that unless knowing the truth is important.

Pay attention, I didn’t mention “your” opinions.

If only “everyone” shared the same opinion on what that meta-narrative was.

Neither did I, you are reading things into even the smallest comments that are not
there.

You just accused me of mentioning “your opinions” in a post I made. I made no mention of “your opinions” in that post.

Pay attention.

The truth that is reality as it is is all-encompassing; we are in it, and our opinions
about it can line up with it or not. We do logic because logic can be done; we do
science because science can be done; neither of those could be if it were not for
the truth that is everywhere is understandable in all things. If the universe were
not set up so that it is understandable, we could not grasp anything at all.

Of course you are.

If only everyone held the same opinion as to what that all encompassing truth was.

If only everyone held the same opinion as you on what you’ve asserted here.

If only everyone held to this opinion of yours.
