So, it is impossible that your personal-relative opinion can be false or insufficient? Is this what you are saying? Why should I accept this statement of yours "Because of the impossibility of the contrary" unless I accept the only obvious unstated premise that you yourself think you are a ‘god’?? I do not accept the premise that you are a ‘god’, so your fallibility is a strong possibility here, my exceptionally arrogant friend. You state "because of the impossibility of the contrary" when asked why anyone should accept your personal-relative opinion as fact. You have not even made any attempt to demonstrate this ‘impossibility of the contrary’. This is a technique which you employ with one aim and one aim only: TO BRING THE DISCUSSION TO A HALT WITH THE OUTCOME IN YOUR FAVOR. It is only effective to the extent that others accept it. I for one do not accept your implicit infallibility, pal!! It’s not going to be that easy. The only thing you will achieve by your appeal to authority is making yourself look like a REAL FOOL!! That, my friend, you have done with exceptional talent.

Like I said in the past, the stand-up comedians of the future will be religionist itinerant preachers.
