It may be judged that those words appear to show some careful consideration.
The answer is the Allies because Hitler was real.--
What do you think the truth is about absolute truth ?
--But - the real real question is - should we have saved Jesus to spare the world from the crimes against humanity inflicted on it through Christianity in the last 2000 years?--
Have you ever looked at 1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ?
You may compare that from above with what may be thought of as The No True Scotsman Fallacy.
I don't believe that 'absolute truth' exists, and the burden of proof would be on the person asserting that it does to demonstrate that it does. I believe we can have degrees of certainty based on evidence and logic. Human beings are inherently fallible, hence the need for science.
If you are saying that there is a way to test and prove the existence of God, I look forward to reading about it on the front page of every newspaper and scientific journal in the world.
