      If you just search 'personal truths' on here, you immediately find people confusing their beliefs with truth.

      'Personal truth' often means a) I can make things true by believing them. b) It would be intolerant of you to disagree with me.

      People confuse a respect for 'personal truths' with tolerance of different views and that's worrying.

      Its quite possible to respect a person with different beliefs without having to consider their beliefs true or tell them u think they're not

      It's not tolerant to respect personal truths. It is tolerant to respect people's right to different beliefs whilst thinking only one is true

      If all beliefs are true, Jesus is the son of God, a respected prophet, a false prophet, a delusional carpenter & never existed. All at once.

          I think it's important to accept that there are right & wrong answers even if we don't know or can't be entirely sure what they are.

          Because our tendency to tell ourselves stories centering ourselves & then believe them is a flaw of our species!

          And now I shut up. I was deeply engrossed in a novel until a black-hearted Irishman came along &threw an essay on postmodernism at me. Fiend

          Parallel universes. It was either that or Schroedinger. And there's already an abundance of cats.

          No, that's not how they rationalise it.

          Exactly the kind of behaviour we could expect from God and therefore proof of him. #Checkmate
