  1. That’s a poor definition of truth. Truth is when a statement about reality comports with reality.

  2. False. Sounds and gods are fictional.

  3.  @billbucktube  When people use terminology like “your truth”, I sort of assume whatever they say next will be highly suspect, if not complete nonsense.

  4.  @UncannyRicardo  Hardly objective, eh? So if we wanted to trade, 4 apples for 3 oranges, we couldn’t objectively identify the correct items in the correct numbers? I’m sorry. You’re not serious.

  5.  @billbucktube  In that scenario would it be true that Arthur finished before Bill? We don’t need to know every fact about everything thing in order to make truth claims which can be supported by evidence. And this argument doesn’t mean magic is real or gods exist. It means you’re desperate to defend unwarranted beliefs. Why would Arthur be the loser when Arthur finished first? No wonder you’re confused.

  8.  @YECBIB  Do you not even understand what a question is, or how they work?

  9.  @YECBIB  If you’re YED, you’re definitely impacted by a BITE model. Understanding this may help you to understand reality more accurately. But you’re probably not interested in whether or not the beliefs you hold are actually true.

  10. Governments exist.

  11. You don’t experience death. You experience dying. Then you don’t experience anything.

  12. Truth is when a stat,ent about reality comports with reality. Science gives us tentatively the best possible understanding based on the available information. Not truth.
