>Truth is independent of my mind.
But it isn't in the way this priest is misrepresenting the term.
Breathlessly banging your hand against a wall doesn't prove it's wood, even if you believe it is.
Scientology proves that humans are fallible.
It's likely this priest doesn't know the difference between hardwood and laminex, fancy vinyl, acoustic paneling, microcement, resin or a grass based bamboo composite unless he's also a carpenter.
I'm a faithful Christian, but I can't agree with this argument because faith is the foundation of Christianity and no Christian can prove the existence of God.
And we don't need to because they have faith.
Christianity is a life-long journey of open minded study and discovery.
I believe any Christian who holds a bible and claims to know it all and how to interpret it all perfectly is as mistaken as the priest in the video.
I believe facts and proof (i.e. truth) undermines the core principals of Christianity by turning it from a religion into a transaction for rewards.
The only debate to be had from his argument is in his misrepresentation of truth to mean fact. Truth can be argued to be subjective but facts are objective. Just because someone believes something is true, doesn't make it so.
God has been proven over and over and over and over again with infinity evidence through science, history and anthropology, including the resurrection of Christ, but you still don't see it because jews told you otherwise

Show me your best objective proof please.
To be clear, for the sake of this debate, I'm not interested in conflating yours strong subjective beliefs that you read in a book, saw in a film, feel in your heart or saw in a vision with objective facts.
I'll give you one chance to present your best objective proof of the Christian God, so choose carefully and be mindful that words have meanings and evidence is not proof.

Sorry, no sale.
I will remain humble and open minded in my faith.

This will be the last time I chase you for an answer.
