Dear runner,

You wrote; “Jesus Christ equals truth personified.”

Which gives us a great opening to discuss relativism.

For when Jesus proclaimed in Revelations that;

"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

What did he mean by soon?

Us silly humans thought it might be a touch under 2 thousand years but hey in god speak who knows. That's relativism for ya.

Who invented Jesus Christ?

Dear Ludwig,

It depends on what type of measurement scale
you're using. The following link might help
explain:

Also 2 feet plus two inches is not 4 anythings.

Of course there is only one truth.

However if you study humanities at most of our universities, you will find they like the idea of every one’s truth being equal.

This is a great idea if you aren’t very bright, so can’t understand most things, or have a lousy memory & can’t remember the truth.

This insidious garbage is slowly taking control in many of our uni ideas.

I hope they have any engineers so trained, restricted to designing university buildings. Having their buildings fall on their heads would be poetic justice come home to roost.

Dear Hasbeen,

Where on earth did you get this idea that humanities students are taught that there are many truths? The object of history, sociology, archaeology, etc., is to search for the singular truth.

Unfortunately there is insufficient evidence to define the truth surrounding many questions in these fields so that there exists numerous theories and ideas which go towards understanding some aspects of these subjects.

And of course there are some questions that just cannot ever be answered like What is the origin of the universe?

People like engineers don't need to be concerned about searching for the truth. They are trained to make things - not how to think.

Good example, david f.

1 + 1 = 2 in base 10 mathematics. 1 + 1 = 10 in base 2 mathematics.

Therefore 2 = 10…. when changing from base 10 to base 2!

So, we had an example of where 1 + 1 does not = 2. But in so doing, we found hard and fast truths in that 1 + 1 does definitely always equal 2 in base 10 and 10 in base 2 maths!

Meanwhile Mr Opinion, a true Zoggian, works on the primary premise that 2 + 2 = 3. Man, such a belief would have to really screw with your brain, wouldn’t it!?

Maybe this explains some of the amazing opinions he presents on OLO!! ( :>/
