What is truth ??

Society now a days likes to think that there is no absolute truth .....you believe what you like as long as you are sincere..because really there is no absolute standard of truth.

I came across a brilliant put down to this in todays "Independent" ....an article reviewing Simon blackburns book "Truth:A Guide For The Perplexed"..he says this

A person who believes that there is no absolute truth ( a relativist) " is like an archer who shoots an arrow at a barn door; paints a target around it and claims a bulls eye ; There is no success or failure in this game ..."

Rob Whiteway says that if you want absolute truth then look no further than the Bible.. its target has been fixed to the barn door since the beginning of time ...in fact it made the barn door :-)
