Do Words Have Objective Meanings?

If words have no objective meaning; and all interpretation lies in the mind of the reader (hearer), then the logical deduction is that communication is impossible. Additionally, the reasoning, logic, and pronouncements of the post-modernist proponents are just as preposterous as anyone else’s. If the content of their words have no meaning, apart from the meaning you or I choose to give them, then they have nothing meaningful to say.

Hey potato-head, why don't you write your own content instead of just quoting all these random authors? You should start doing some critical thinking and actually engage philosophically.

Hey mush for brains, how about looking at the purpose of this blog: "Quotations from conservative or Christian sources, speaking to the conditions of society, and countering the Left's phobia of Christian morality."

I DO critical thinking, which is why I choose the citations posted.

Excellent quote to share, Glenn. As the saying goes, relativism relativizes itself.
