I could reply to the whole thing, but hopefully this will cut to the heart of the matter:

From what you are saying I think your "absolute knowledge" is closer to "personal truth" than "absolute truth", the latter being universal.

That is, a person could hypothetically "absolutely know" something that contradicts something that someone else "absolutely knows", based on different revelations.

That would be why I had a fit when you were saying stuff like 'we know it's absolute knowledge because it's absolute knowledge, lol': because PERSONAL "absolute knowledge" (what you were talking about) doesn't imply UNIVERSAL "absolute knowledge" (what I was talking about*).

That would be why you said that when I was talking about absolute certainty you thought it was close to what you were talking about -- because what I meant by "absolute certainty" was what you meant by "absolute knowledge".

This may explain everything. But have I misinterpreted your meaning?
*And in my defense -- I mean, come on, it's absolute knowledge!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
