It seems that in today's postmodern relativistic society, when the topic of 'truth' is discussed, the lack of unanimity has given birth to a degenerate form of 'truth' that is, consequently, devoid of the existence of what makes truth truth.
“The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.”--Winston Churchill
That is to say that 'truth' is what you make of it, and that there are no absolutes. Yet the statement "there are no absolutes" presents an absolute by it's very existence, thus destroying itself in the process.
Nobody want's to fly with a relativistic pilot. Barreling towards a mountain at 500 mph has a way of bringing unanimity among the passengers regarding the absolute truth of mountains and speeding airplanes.
It's only when the airplane is flying safely and everything is satisfactory that we feel comfortable with personalizing truth for the sake of peace and tolerance. Ahh, but do you not realize that it is the absolutes that keep the airplane flying.
"I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life..." -- JESUS CHRIST
