      You cannot claim subjective truths to exist because different subjects have different truths -eg, 'I am a mother' is true of me, not every1

      It is objectively true that I am a mother. If someone claims its true to them that I'm an apple tree, they're just wrong.

      That's an obvious example that no-one denies but they will claim that the fact that ppl hold different beliefs proves different truths.

      'I am an atheist' is a claim like 'I am a mother.' It's true or it isn't. It's true. It doesn't mean my position on gods is the correct one

      For someone else, 'I am a Christian' is a claim which is true or not. It doesn't mean their position on God is the correct one.

      We believe different things to be true. This doesn't mean we have different truths. One or both of us is wrong.

      This might seem like a semantic difference but it's not. It's essential to distinguish between subjective beliefs & subjective truths.

      We humans have a tendency to think our beliefs construct reality & as society gets more tolerant, this leads to belief in multiple realities

          But this is an error. We can tolerate different beliefs abt reality but still remain clear that they can't all be true & truth matters.
