Some people, regardless of whether they are theistic or non-theistic, say that there must be one truth and that everyone else is wrong. But, why can't everyone (all truths and beliefs) be wrong? Why doesn't humanity embrace this possibility more?
Hm. On some level I agree with you, but there still has to be one set of truths that is true. That doesn't mean that anyone on the planet absolutely has the right beliefs. We could all be wrong about the truth.
Jesster, thank you for your response. Your statement, "That doesn't mean that anyone on the planet absolutely has the right beliefs. We could all be wrong about the truth.", is really what I was trying to get at. Well said.
Are we currently equipped to objectively discover and interpret that one truth? How can we be sure that if and when we discover this one truth that our subjectivity won't be making it into whatever we want it to be?
