The problem appeared when the thing called "Lie" was invented or it just happened does not matter.
Now truth is something that is really really difficult to handle and generate.
But but but but, lies are easy and most people use them and hence the ratio of truth to lie in the general spectrum of information is like 99,9999999% lies and 0,0000001 truth.
With time this ratio is getting worse and worse, since we as humans tend to repeat information that came from other sources and since lies are becoming more abundant.
Now here truth appears again. Ones truth is grasped by a human being in any field, be it social or scientific they gain a powertool, which according to the calculations of any powerstructure they should not have and hence they have to be eliminated, intimidated (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNDWvejza4c). Now grasping one truth does not make a difference, but if You have a whole bunch of them it makes a difference. That is why even parents with atheistic views send their children to catholic schools, even they can see (I mean God or atheist is just one truth - in my opinion the whole question is much simpler and broader. Its just this - what is Your life about - is it searching for truth then ok, if not then please get out slave, cause nothing else can help You to be free) that their children will gain more in such a school.
What would happen if somebody would like to create a truth generator?
He would die - its what Jesus did and hence his words deserve reverence and should be taken into consideration. Even if one were to assume that he was just a human the nature of truth does not depend on the transmitter. It would not matter if it is a book, on a CD or floppy drive. Truth if it is really the truth is easily verifialable through experimantation. The funny thing about Jesus is, that the cross and his death says it all. Its such a small peace of information that it cannot be manipulated.
Here one just has to look at people who allowed God into their lives to see how it changed. One just has to look for such people they are not popular - the powerstructure is anti-truth. To mind comes Gloria Polo from Columbia. Saint Paul said, just try it out and see. You gotta stick to it for a while though, its like going to the GYM You want see any difference unless You change diet and really work out. Its like GYM for the spirit, once it kicks in its like a drug it just causes those strange things that make You gasp with awe.
I think you're new here so first of all welcome. But can you summarize a point from this post. I read it but wasn't sure what you were trying to say. "Truth" is simply the correspondence between something expressed with language and the way things actually are in the world. I have no idea what significance you are attaching to "the truth". Every proposition that correctly maps to the world is "a" truth. Which proposition(s) are you referring to when you use the expression "the truth", and why?
