Truth

Here are a few things I received from Wikipedia on "Truth":

Ghandi summarized his beliefs first when he said "God is Truth". He would later change this statement to "Truth is God".
~

Alfred North Whitehead, a British mathematician who became an American philosopher, said: "There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that play the devil".

The logical progression or connection of this line of thought is to conclude that truth can lie, since half-truths are deceptive and may lead to a false conclusion.
~

"it is generally recognized that there is no absolute truth but nevertheless that there are objectively valid laws and principles".

You want absolute truth?



This is absolute truth. Not satisfied? There's a lot more where that came from. In an argument about truth, it is not just my relative opinion because absolute truth is real.
