There cannot be a God if there are no absolute truths. That's why you would justify criticizing religion... if it were so.
The point, as far as I recollect, was in acknowledging that we all start from assumptions,
Would this be an assumption, also?
What *I* can't say, is that these assumptions are absolutely true,
Is it absolutely true that they aren't absolutely true?
I abhor relativism.
