Where I am with the Viklove sort of interlocutor is to inquire:

"Stipulate for argument's sake that I am incorrect, and Jesus is not the meaning of life, here and hereafter. Fine. What then is?

What complete existential theory would you assert? What is the operating system of the universe in general, and my soul in particular?

What is absolutely True? How can I judge that which is moral when the concept of truth has been scuttled?

Is there anything else which you can objectively offer beside raw, carnivorous will-to-power?"

If we're not fanatics, then, as an intellectual matter (irrespective of metaphysical faith), we should be serious about trading up, no?
