Simple Questions About Beliefs

That's a neat trick. in one post you quote a book or writings to prove ur point and then in the next post you surmise no one needs a book.

neat trick

No comments?

Without reading a book, I have figured out there are principals and laws that all of the universe operates on and from.
like Gravity, sort of.
No doubt the world acts on CYCLES. The seasons, the tides, the spirals of the revolving plants are all ways we can learn what this world is all about without reading a book.

The world is about cycles....you already figured it out.

Do you understand all possible cycles affected by The Galactic Alignment?

I believe the Christian Rosicrucians have some groovy ideas.

I don't know much about charts or progressions.

I did take an Astrology course in the mail, for two years, from the Christian Rosicrucians and a one year course at a local junior college.
I am great at natal or birth charts, but not at progressions.

You mean the galactic alignment which has already taken place? Or all the previous ones?

This goes out to any believer..

What is it specifically that makes your religion true that all the other religions are lacking?

The blood of Christ.

Cannibalism is the difference?

Definitely not a satisfactory answer my friend.

What does "the blood of Christ" mean?

ahhhh the blood of Christ... yummy....

I believe the wiki gods define the "blood of Christ" as the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

As for what it means, I believe that is open for interpretation.

So someone with an asshole gave you -rep?

Everyone is entitled to their vote you know.

You have a problem with that?

I believe if the rep game means anything to you,

and if someone gives you a bad rep based on ideaology rather than invalid argument or hate spewing on everyone,

then someone who agreed with you, understood how rep works, and cared enough to stand by you

would if you ask,

help

Seeing as there's never been any of Jesus Christ's blood recovered for DNA testing, that answer doesn't seem to apply very well to the question I asked.

Basically what is it that makes your religion (anyone) more true than all the other ones?

Hey guys the blood of christ makes our religion better!

No rational argument needed.

Only the Interpreter is able to gain Truth from their given religion.., but when absoulute Truth is realized within their given religion, the Interpreter then realizes the impeccable Truth in all Religions and all Things. In essence, it all basically comes down to finding the absolute Truth from within yourself, as all religions incline, including Atheism. It was difficult for me at first to find truth in anything besides the Jew God, now it is hard for me not to find truth in all things. That's my opinion tho'.

So I ask, what makes atheism the correct truth over all others? Anybody...., My answer tends to lean towards my above statement, but I'm open to hearing why atheism may be the correct truth.. And I believe in Atheism, like I believe in Christanity, however, my views run considerably vast and in contrast when compared to the general conceptualize views of others.



You are here: Philosophy >> Absolute Truth


Absolute Truth - Inflexible Reality
"Absolute truth" is defined as inflexible reality: fixed, invariable, unalterable facts. For example, it is a fixed, invariable, unalterable fact that there are absolutely no square circles and there are absolutely no round squares.
Absolute Truth vs. Relativism
While absolute truth is a logical necessity, there are some religious orientations (atheistic humanists, for example) who argue against the existence of absolute truth. Humanism's exclusion of God necessitates moral relativism. Humanist John Dewey (1859-1952), co-author and signer of the Humanist Manifesto 1 (1933), declared, "There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, then immutable truth is also dead and buried. There is no room for fixed, natural law or moral absolutes." Humanists believe one should do, as one feels is right.
Absolute Truth - A Logical Necessity
You can't logically argue against the existence of absolute truth. To argue against something is to establish that a truth exists. You cannot argue against absolute truth unless an absolute truth is the basis of your argument. Consider a few of the classic arguments and declarations made by those who seek to argue against the existence of absolute truth…

"There are no absolutes." First of all, the relativist is declaring there are absolutely no absolutes. That is an absolute statement. The statement is logically contradictory. If the statement is true, there is, in fact, an absolute - there are absolutely no absolutes.

"Truth is relative." Again, this is an absolute statement implying truth is absolutely relative. Besides positing an absolute, suppose the statement was true and "truth is relative." Everything including that statement would be relative. If a statement is relative, it is not always true. If "truth is relative" is not always true, sometimes truth is not relative. This means there are absolutes, which means the above statement is false. When you follow the logic, relativist arguments will always contradict themselves.

"Who knows what the truth is, right?" In the same sentence the speaker declares that no one knows what the truth is, then he turns around and asks those who are listening to affirm the truth of his statement.

"No one knows what the truth is." The speaker obviously believes his statement is true.

There are philosophers who actually spend countless hours toiling over thick volumes written on the "meaninglessness" of everything. We can assume they think the text is meaningful! Then there are those philosophy teachers who teach their students, "No one's opinion is superior to anyone else's. There is no hierarchy of truth or values. Anyone's viewpoint is just as valid as anyone else's viewpoint. We all have our own truth." Then they turn around and grade the papers!

Wow, talk about taking the long way around the barn...

Just say, I can't prove Christianity is right and the others are wrong. Just start there.

Who said I was trying to prove Christanity being right or wrong? I only made a simple 1 paragraph (2 r 3 sentences long regarding truth), the other paragraph was a question.. And the other literature was in regards of the idea of claiming why/what truth may be..

I don't practice a particular religion, such as Atheism like you. On your trip around the barn, did you come up with an answer as to why your Religion is correct? And no circles, Just A to B.

Yeah, he doesn't sign his neg reps.
But it's easy enough to figure out.

Just look for someone who believes in magical people and magical thinking that has "elite" under their name.

He called me a 'basher troll' so I guess that's like a level 2 basher

Remember, it's better to click the "neg rep" button than it is to use your brain for things like rational thought!
