Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth

RE: Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth
(October 6, 2015 at 11:35 pm)Delicate Wrote: It is viewed objectively. It might not be apprehended or accepted universally, but then again objective and universal are not the same thing.

Examples include scientific and mathematical truths, other true claims about reality that are true independent of how one feels about them.

But something that is objective need not be viewed universally because just because something is true independent of your feelings about it, doesn't mean everyone should know it universally.



Subjective truths are those truths whose truth values depend on what people think, or feel, or experience. Claims like "Vanilla ice-cream is delicious" are subjectively true.

Ah.... I see.

Objective truth is truth. Subjective truth is opinion.

Since we already have words for those, why muddy the waters?!?
