And if absolute truth exists that is exclusive of all untruth, doesn't that imply the existence of a state of being or realm of absolute truth, perhaps one which we could call God.
All true until you reach the last bit. Whilst logical truth does exist, and as such so does absolute truth, it does not imply the existence of God, nor does it imply a realm of absolute truth.

Truth is a concept of the mind; absolute truths are simply truths that accurately reflect reality in such a way that they cannot be disproved. Examples being the laws of logic.
