Do you mean that Russel's Teapot has a truth-maker, because we can not show that there is nothing that makes it true?

 I changed my freaking words because you had trouble with the other
words. WHEN I CHANGE THE WORDS TO MAKE THEM CLEARER I AM NOT FREAKING
USING THE ORIGINAL FREAKING WORDS.
 

And thus show that you don't have the mental ability to properly communicate.
You complain because I forget things you said a long time ago that you think must still be assumed in your words, and you also think it is incorrect to assume you are making the same arguement you made a little bit ago.
You are just in an inconsistant logic system, because you don't understand the meaning of truth.
I think the problem is that YOU don't really understand what you mean, because you don't really understand the nature of the words you use.
It seems that you can't even seem to hold onto your core ideas, perhaps because there is a fundamental conflict in them that you just can't handle.
