It doesn't matter when the word truth still forms part of what you're talking about. Its a human English word for converying a specific, human concept.
And the only reason you can envisage that concept, is because the word truth carries a particular meaning for English speaking humans.AV1611VET said:
No different .. humans define the meaning of truth .. Otherwise you wouldn't have a clue what anyone means when they use the word .. Bible or not.AV1611VET said:
Humanism was at the heart of the German Nazi philosophy that resulted in millions of innocent people brutalized and murdered in concentration camps.
I'd say it's a sign of faith. But after being answered, I say it's a revelation few have ever experienced. Especially church leaders. So the lack of understanding is completely warranted.
Perhaps you mean the notion of transhumanism in Nazi Germany's practise of eugenics there?
Don't think so .. its more about where to draw the line between considerations of an individual woman's rights and her fetus'.Oscarr said:
There are many kinds of truth, and academic truth is generally the most rigorous - from the tautological truths of formal systems (logic, mathematics), to a pragmatic agreement on what works; or the eventual convergence of opinion of investigators; or a claimed or empirical correspondence to observables. Outside formal systems, truth is, at best, a Platonic ideal; at worst, redundant language - the statement, 'It is true that P', reduces to, 'P'.
It looks rather like the equivocation trick. It never gets old and it never works on a critical thinker. Others can be, and are, fooled by it, however. Using it does seem a bit manipulative, but I suppose some users are themselves victims of the technique.
These are still branches of basic godless humanist philosophy.
It is just that I don't bother to engage in useless debates with non-Christian people.
I'd venture to say that any sociological model which envisages a hiearchical power structure, starting with a supreme God at its pinnacle, is the root cause of what invariably follows, (which is chaos).
Because this thread has gone beyond the original intention of the OP, it has gone past its use-by date. Therefore I am out of here.
