ARGH!!!!
I kinda hope you're being sarcastic, because that was the biggest load of relativistic bull I've ever heard! Wrong on SO many levels!
SINCE WHEN is truth relative to circumstance? Doesn't that go against the principle in itself? If it's TRUE that all truth is relative... that's a contradiction in itself!
Please tell me you forgot to note your sarcasm.

Painfully, Troggie

The "truth" we speak of here is a spiritual one. And although your argument has great merit in the fact that there is "one truth" the truth is you don't know any more than I do what it actually is. You may claim to know, because of the religion or belief system that you follow, "the truth". In actuality, truth is relative and situational. Something you might consider true many others may reject outright. This does not make your perception of the truth false, it only creates a parallel of your truth. What is true and false in logic is not true or false in the realm of theology or sociology. Different cultures have different truths or beliefs. I am in no way deriding or belittling your truths, so why do find it necessary to question mine?

Troggie, please also accept that I respect and accept many of the "truths" of Christianity as my own truths. There are some tenats of the religion that I do not accept, but I do not want to have that discussion as it is an endless and fruitless endeavor for both of us. My lack of faith or belief in a religion in now way is a commentary on the religion. One of the primary tenats of Christianity that I feel is paramount to holding respect and fellowship for another human beings is the one of witholding judgement towards others until experience or action proves them out. If my actions or words are offensive to you I appologize they are not meant to be.
