Do you have a specific philosophical theory of truth that you favor, or just 'truth' as colloquially understood? (I haven't settled on one myself, other than a general skepticism of correspondance theories of truth.)



I don't really favor any of them. I believe that truth is objective, meaning it is what it is regardless of what we believe. as to how we can find it, I think the correspondence and coherence theories hold some value when coupled together. the pragmatic theory I don't think has any value whatsoever in finding truth. it may be useful in finding what's helpful, but the truth is not always helpful. I'm not well researched on theories of truths to be honest, however. I also explained a bit on what I think rational belief is on this thread:
http://atheistforums.org/thread-21163.html
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
