By this I mean do you believe truths exist that are ALWAYS true regardless of time, location, or circumstance? I don't intend to challenge any belief in this thread... I am simply taking note of them and categorizing them statistically.
Universal/Absolute truth would imply the existence of God, as it goes beyond chemical reaction and matter. It is a spiritual concept, for instance "thou shalt do no murder" would be considered by a theist to be universally/absolutely true. "For God so loved the world" would be another truth they recognize as universal.
So does the Atheist believe in a spiritual concept, or do they believe absolute/universal truth does not exist?
When you vote, please offer your thoughts as well, and thank you very much!
Define "true"

There appear to be universal truths about the physical universe, but I suspect you don't mean that.
I am posting this for theists in another section. This is specifically referring to moral truth.
Moral precepts by my definition are never true by my definition of "true".
