Dear runner,

You wrote; “If I knew I would tell you. I would prefer to concentrate on what is very clear in contrast with something that can be interpreted many different ways and often wrongly.”

Who wrongly interprets 'soon' as less than 2,000 years?

Soon is not a few years, nor a few decades, nor a few centuries, nor a few millennia.

Soon is soon and he was very unequivocal about the word, no perhaps', no maybes, no in a little whiles.

To be saying otherwise is surely untruthful.

Perhaps some reflection on the word 'truth' might be in order.

If Christ really was telling the truth when he said he would return soon are you not in a bit of a bind? You must then admit you do not understand his truths and therefore have little grounds with which to expound them to the rest of us.

Would you like, for the sake of the exercise, try another of what you see as his truths on me? Let us assess it in light of your understanding of 'soon'. I feel we may both find it instructive.

Many men would hope paternity testing is 'truth'.

I will finish this subject.
Boolean algebra, the language of logic.

A+B = AB

Thats it, end of lesson.

Mr Opinion just try using the wrong grade of steel in your building, car or ship, & you’ll damn soon find out that engineers deal continually with the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth. If you don’t believe that, you’d best buy a very good safety helmet.

Pelican I believe you realise I was referring to there being only one truth to each question. Did you, or did you not, shoot the gun? Yes or no, with no may be, possibly or perhaps. That sort of garbage is for our global warming con men.

I find most things are black or white. Can you swim across this river sort of thing? Try it, & you’ll find only a black or white answer.

I have found those who see lots of grey are usually too lazy to bother finding the correct answer.

Of course we all know the answer to everything, The Hitchers Guide told us, it is 46 I believe.

Hasbeen you miss the overall point. I am not talking about factual truth eg. is this text black. The answer is of course yes.

The correct answers are not always so easy to ascertain. Often it is opinion as your con-men comment about climate change suggests. You cannot seriously contend that you and you only, among all the scientists and everyone else knows the 'truth' about climate change.

Thank goodness for grey areas otherwise we would be run by lynch mobs.

err no Hasbeen 43 think.
Anyway it is A+B = AB that is the only possible answer.
