For all of the anti-theists here -- what is the importance of capital 'T' Truth? That is, is there any defendable reason why truth is inherently better than illusion? About which nothing can be said, why is nothing better than something?

QUOTE(Kathleen @ May 20 2004, 3:37 PM) That's what I believe, Julia, but they're saying that it is whatever you choose to believe, which is part of it, yet itruth is still proven. true i agree. i also read ur other post kathleen. hmm well heh this topic is not that important for me to discuss but i guess um... watever ppls want to believe in i guess they can jus believe it. there are some scientist, mathemetician, teachers, astronomers, etc... they might end up telling something...but sometimes for us, it will be very hard thing to believe like believing God. |
