symbiot Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I believe that there two truths. There are personal truths and absolute truths. A personal truth requires no facts or evidence to support it i.e. If you believe in your heart that I am stealing from you then to you I am stealing no matter if it is factually true. An absolute truth only has to have facts to be true. Even if you don't believe something to be true but the facts and the evidence support it it is true even without your belief. Belief and truth are two entirely different things. Link to comment

Forget Myself Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 There is also judicial truth. ie If a cop says you are a criminal, but you are not, and he throws you in jail, and takes away your license anyway. OR if you have murdered your wife, and you are in fact a criminal, but you pay off the jury and the law makers and have a fancy lawyer and are found innocent, then you are in fact an innocent person who has committed no crime, even though you have. which kind of defeats the purpose of the justice system anyway. innocent people are criminals and criminals become innocent. I call it backwards truth. Link to comment
