    Be sure to avoid. Realize there is no absolute, and each of us lives our own truth, and when someone narrows existence down to just their truth, it's only over-confidence. based on emotional conviction, ego, fear of other possibilities, etc etc, things like that.

    Do you absolutely believe there is no absolute truth? :p:p:p:p

    People have tried to convert me into the belief that there are no absolutes, but it hasn't been effective. I don't believe in blatant contradictions such as this

    edit; By using this logic that would mean the original claim is false.

    edit2; you realize you're trying to tell us what the truth is right? that there is none.. lol

    This is the mother of all lies.

    However, truth can not be discovered as it can only be revealed its author.
     

  4. Truth revealed is not truth believed. We have complacent faith things are what they are though, as not much revealing has occurred to anyone, only those of the past, with stories to tell.
     
  5. idk, i agree with him, i dont think there is a truth.
    but i also agree that hes trying to tell us the truth, by saying there is no truth..
    but really thats not what it is.
    its a big circle, just like everything.
    wich in turn, brings the question...
    whats the REAL truth?
    well..
    i dont believe we can Absolutley prove that. since everyone, yes, creates their own truths and beliefs. so really
    evrry 'truth' is true, but in all actuality, is not true.
    see?
    big fucking circle haha
     
  6. lol its so fustrating trying to tell people about spiritual truths or whatever word to use, i like to try though

    anything you say is a finger pointing to the moon, its completly up for to them to stare at either the finger or what its pointing to, people just plain dont wanna look at whats right there, its natural

    'those who know dont speak, those who speak dont know"
     
  7. Do you believe it is true that there is no truth? If so, then it's already not true
     
  8. "Only Siths deal in absolutes... I will do what I must."
    -Obi-Wan fucking Kenobi
     

  9. you must not have understood the circle part.
    i basicaly explained what i believe in that.
     
  10. Is it true that I am a human? Is it true that I eat? There are basic absolute truths in life that contradict this theory all together. The theory in itself is a giant lie to get you to believe no one is right. It's destroying morality and will devolve us as a species
     
  11. All things are true, there is no need for interference. Stillness leads to peace. Movement and action lead to chaos.
     
  12. you are too literal, i guess i should have specified.
    i wasnt talking about truths as those.
    of course those are pretty, self explanitory.
    but other things ya know?, 'the other stuff'
    that there are so many answers too.
    its a huge circle. THATs destroying society. all of it is really IMO.
    i dont think humans should question truth in the first place.
    its not on our evolutionary agenda..

    or is it?...idk
    THATS what i wa saying ^^^
    everything is true, wich in turn means, its not true, because not everyone belives in the same thing

    thats the circle i was trying to explain, idk if it makes sense
     
  13. Sig quote :D.
     
  14. Each man holds a seperate truth in their heart, because it is true to them. And philosophizing over universal truth is causing problems. Because each man, has a different truth. And universal truth, is what was made by the man in the first place. So each man has their own universal truth. And this is true, that all truths they have are true. But what is true to one, is not true to all else..

    Is this what you are trying to say?
     

  15. basically yes, especialy the last part. what one person holds as truth, is not true to all others. so that makes Evryones truths, not true, BUT true at the same time. like i said
    its a big fucking perpetual circle.
     
  16. I have a feeling you're saying this because you believe the Bible has contradictions in it, well, I'll suggest a read, "Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions" by Ken Ham.

    If you weren't then thanks :p
     
  17. I dont believe in absolute truth I only believe in observations. Truth comes from repeated observation, observation comes from our senses and our senses are only "interpretations" of whats going on.
    The only thing we have been able to prove as truth in this world/universe is "change".
     
  18. I believe that there are absolute truths in our universe (making the opposite claim is somewhat self-contradicting), but most of the things that people say as advice or "on the spot statistics" is bullshit....
     
  19. its pure chaos. everytime i come to believe something as true it always changes. take acid and your operating system will be wiped out and youl wonder why you waste your time thinking at all. its bullshit
     
  20. destroying morality? devolving us as a species? sounds like organized religion
