Can anything be true, without absolute truth?

*
For myself, I beleive that there has to be absolute truth. Truth that transends culture, age или any situation.

"Onamonaique" Good question. In my response, true meant it is common for many people to choose to ignore the facts. A definition of true could be a factual. It defines the real nature of an object или issue. It differs from opinion which are based on a person's personal feelings. Sometimes it's can be difficult for any of us to tell the difference in a дана situation. But there is always one truth. We may interpret it differently depending on culture или predisposition.

WOW, that's so brilliant! Oh my GOD! Ты are truly, a genius, a gentleman and scholar! This is such a vague Вопрос it was just BEGGING for an answer like that. Either something's true или it's not! End of STORY!!!

Truth is by default exclusive and denotes the absence of falsehood. Truth can be deduced, inferred или shown through direct или indirect logical methods. Hippieman, in our world, where people are clamouring to have their say and none can vouch for the veracity of their sayings, your Комментарии on whatever is either true или not sounds at the very least naive. The Вопрос is how to prove what is truth and what is not! And having done so, can Ты secure the acquiescence of your debaters?

To me there are no such things as facts или truth. Just opinions that have strong support или the support that the smart people and absent-minded people seem to overlook

That's an interesting thought. Even if I don't believe the same, I can respect it. I find by listening to different points of Просмотры it can challenge или strengthen my own. One question, if Ты don't believe in absolutes, how do Ты tell right from wrong /good from bad? Not to argue, but just to discuss.

I once read a great argument by C. S. Lewis about truth and absolutes, though I think that it was еще about causation, and how God is the Ultimate Truth and Cause of everything.
Still somewhat applies- if God is the Ultimate Truth and Cause, then it stands to reason only things that came from him would be true, suggesting an absolute truth.

Which means that there cannot be things true without that absolute truth.

No.
A person might ask about the weather because they were wondering if they need to bring an umbrella или just not go out at all.
Ты might simply just say "It's raining.", and the person might take it as 'it's raining gently outside', when it's really pounding outside, and go out with just a flimsy umbrella and get soaked to the bone.
because Ты did not give the full truth, they made a wrong choice, so therefore, Ты lied. Ты did not give enough info to suffice their question.
get it? no? eh..it's hard to put this in words >.<

Let me sumarize what I think Ты are saying. There is no such thing as a half truth. Either Ты tell the whole truth или Ты tell a lie. If that is what Ты meant, I agree with you.
