In other words, truth.

Truth kind of has to be objective, so objective that it is absolutely, well, true. That is why it's called truth.

Religious folks try to make "absolute truth" or "The Truth" into some hocus pocusy religious superstitious bullshit, when really it just means... truth.

It's like they're trying to look at a green splat that is trivial and actually just absolutely what it is and pretend it's a golden nugget:

Ya know what I hate about absolute truth? There's no margin in it.

No profit in spouting truism.  Undecided

Whenever a theist mentions Truth, it ain't. Angel

It's fun decapitalizing "God" as "god" and "Jesus" as "jesus". It homeopathizes their religious confidence Big Grin
