Objective Truth

Truth says: you've got it inside out and upside down. But I won't further my opinion on why I comment so—[yawn] I just can't be bothered.

Ultimate truth is that which is completely unknowable either empirically or philosophically but can still be acknowledged.

If it's unknowable then it's irrelevant, so why bother?

The ultimate truth is a journey, rather than a destination. It is like walking on a mountain ridge thinking that next rise is the end of the hike. When you reach the top of that rise, you can see that the ridge goes even further. You were excited for a while thinking this is it, only to feel tired when the journey continues. But you take a deep breath and start walking again to the next rise which you again believe is the destination.

I generate a wide range ideas rather than settle on the status quo. The nature of truth is all in the journey. If anyone claims they found the end, they have given up and decided to squat where they stop.

 

And thus there being no absolute truth is illustrated.

I think the truth is one . It has no change . It does not vary . What varies is ; our perception of the truth .

For example take the case of gravity . Gravity is the same thing and there is some truth in it . But Newton's perception and Einstein's perception of gravity are different , though it is the same gravity in both the cases .

So, there is no division in the truth . All the divisions are in our perceptions of the truth .

But then the question is "Is there anything we call Absolute Truth that actually is Absolute Truth". I say no.

Then the above is an absolute truth.

objective truth?
don't you mean "subjective"?
in my opinion truth has no qualifiers, which of course is subjective truth.

make sense?

Objective truth is a perceptible threshold which judgment must cross in order to visit reality.

 

But what lures judgment to cross the threshold?

 

LSD rocks!

 

If that statement is correct then the statement itself isn't an absolute truth but whatever it's attempting to refer to is...

 

Without God (who is absolute truth) man can only know subjective truths. Revealed truth is always true.

When they say "There's no such thing as absolute truth." it is a statement that's being made absolutely. They have defeated their own argument.

This is nonsense. The nature of a thing is what it is, even if we don't understand what it is; even if we misunderstand it. Kind of like a planet off in some far away galaxy has the features that it has even if we don't know what they are, or how the world is actually round even if you think it's flat. These are not subjective truths, they are actual truths, just as the non-existence of your god would be an actual truth if indeed your god doesn't exist.
