Objective truth/Truth deals with relationships
-
Dear KGB,
Idol-free is talking about abstract practices that do have their worth when we are trying to understand what is true. He is basically, through examples trying to clarify that the word we use for 'truth' can mean more than one thing and that depending on the situation the truth can be different. What is 'true' doesn't always have to do with straight informative facts, but can also have to do with approriate relationships between different things, or natural functions, etc., etc.
I think that idol-free is a little eccentric at times and focuses on things that are not always very important in my view. But I think that what he is saying now definitely has some merit, although it is very abstract I admit. It's merit is in that we are all trying to seek "the truth" here so it is important to understand that "the truth" is not always that black and white bull's eye that we think it is.
Godbless,

Peace all. I quoted the word eccentric because i found it funny...Im pretty eccentric myself... o yay
However,i feel brother idol-free (from his posts.) is a very enlightened and clever man,with brilliant ideas,and a sincere,open mind.... bravo sun
I think you have mis-understood him KGB...When i first used to read his posts i thought his ideas were indeed 'eccentric' and very strange...But now i know better...The man is a genius... -
Peace be upon you KGB,
I have been here long enough not to allow words to influence my feelings. In fact I hope to stand as an example of how to respond with the good response rather than get sucked into my lower nature.
Dont worry about it and I look foward to having poilte discussion with you as well.

Peace idol-free. One of the reasons why i respect you,is precisely because you guard your lower emotions when provoked...A lesson for us all... bravo
