Truth

I find it funny how people see the truth differently.

If you’re an Atheist, Your truth seems to be, the God of the Bible is as mythical as Bigfoot or Aliens.
I respect that......

If You're a Christian, Your faith in the God of the Bible is undying.
I respect that.....

If You're Wicca, You're belief in Mother Earth and magic, and there is ritual observance of seasonal and life cycles....That is your faith.
I respect that....

If your Agnostic, You believe, even if there is a God he is unknowable and you haven't made your mind up yet....
I respect that.....

If You're Catholic, You're not sure what to believe either.....
I respect that......

What is the truth?

See were I'm going?

I ask meself this everyday.......

What is the truth.

My truth will be different from your truth because we are individuals,
but we are also one.....
I know it probably has something to do with the Quantum Mechanics,
the whole “observer” experiments......

Who knows? Who REALLY knows??

Enjoy your life and know that we all face the same fate.....

Please feel free to add your own “Truths”.......

Peace would be the best!!! I truly believe this.

Hold on kids!!! It's gonna be a wild ride!!!

I wholeheartily agree with you. Whenever anyone describes thier truths, it always sounds like they are describing the same thing to me. I know one truth though, when we seek other things to satisfy our spiritual needs like money or power or material things, we lose the true essence of who we are as humans. We become a gross characature of a person of which most of us never return from.

I feel that truth is both subjective and relative to the situation.
I mean what is truth for ants?
Could it be translated into human terms?

Truth seems to be a human made concept.
Does truth have any validity outside of the limited field of human perception?

I can Respect that....
Very well put!!
If you really read and pay attention to the flow of the words, there's more there....

Wouldn't truth be that which is outside of limited human perception? Or are you suggesting that reality is all subjective?

When giving feels better that giving, we can start a beautiful journey!!!
I do believe that Peace would heal......

I LOVE, LOVE.......

Aren't Catholicss Christian? Yep they are.

Anyway moving on.

I think truth is something that can be proven. Does the sun come up? No. So the the sun coming up is not truth though we all say that the sun comes up.

Does the earth spin? Yes. It's been proven to do so. So the earth spinning is truth though we still say the sun comes up.

Reality seems to be suggestive, looking at it from a Quantum Physics point of view......

And the Agnostics would agree with you.....

Where's the truth?

Yes, Catholics are one of the MANY sprouts off of the Christian faith....
That would be a whole other thread...lol.... I think all of them are looking for the "Truth" just like the rest of us...

I do agree with your view.

reality is subjective to the person experiencing it.

It's difficult for me to articulate my thoughts on truth it would probably take a whole essay but I have thought much about the possibility that all reality is subjective.

I mean what you and I see with our eyes in a sense is not real. Light reflects off objects and strikes rods and cones in the eye
which send impulses to the brain.
The brain uses these impulses to construct an image of this world.
Is this image real or a virtual reality made by the brain?
I read some where that the brain will get lazy sometimes and reconstruct entire scenes based on what the brain remembers about a certain setting it will then switch to the actual physical senses once something new enters that setting.

I understand the articulation thought.....My brain starts to hurt after awhile....lol

The lazy brain theory is not hard to digest. It AMAZES me how lazy some people can be....
I have seen that with my own eyes, so that is part of my reality....
so reality = Truth?

Time to rest my noggin.....

And this is why several people can witness the same event yet have different versions of the event. Yet I think there is truth and then there is TRUTH. If you know what I mean.

No I mean that the version of an event as stated by a person might be wrong but it's how that person saw it. So it's not a lie but rather just not what actually happened though that person is being honest in what he or she saw so they're telling the truth but what they saw isn't what actually happened so it's not THE TRUTH. I hope that explains what I'm thinking.
