And that's where you are wrong. I can disprove that in 5 seconds. The Bible says that Jesus is the only way to the Most High. That's an absolute. Therefore there are absolutes.
And you cannot say my truth is true and your truth is true if my truth says that your truth is false. Relativism fails every time.

Yeah, tell me about it. I watched that live with some friends and had the weirdest feeling when Beyonce was performing...
Not to mention her appearance kept changing throughout,
A few seconds later...
Look at those eyes! Really look at her face...and tell me you don't see or sense something else is there.

You are moving the goalposts now. You said there is no absolute truth. I illustrate where there is. But because it's the Bible then you claim the Bible was written by men (and I assume you mean with no divine direction whatsoever). It's irrelevant who wrote it. You said there's no absolute truth. I showed there is.
So again if my truth says your truth is wrong then we both can't be right. Relativism fails.
If you were so confident in your god and your belief system, then you wouldn't feel the need to debate me.

Did you say you feel a presence enter your body? Did you name that presence?
ETA: Again there's nothing indicating she was speaking metaphorically. She made a very literal, straightforward statement. She lifted her hands in the air and felt a presence enter her body.edit on 1-3-2013 by LazarusTsiyr because: (no reason given)
You said no absolute truth (which is an absolute truth itself)
That's absolutely nonsensical. I could say the same to you. My "debating" you does not mean I'm not confident at all. That makes no sense whatsoever.

I never said that a presence or anything enters my body. I said I feel a change come over me. That's not a metaphor.That change is self empowering confidence. It's the feeling of knowing I'm good at what I do and the need to let the crowd see that and feel that also.
I understand what she feels when she steps on stage, and it does feel like something enters the body,
I'm in control of what I do when I'm up there, not some demon or evil spirit.
Unless you are a performer, that is put into that kind of situation often, you will never understand what she is talking about.
