This short video was shared on facebook by a friend (Thanks, Marty!) and I wanted to share it with you all here. It is a very simple illustration of the fact that truth is truth whether you believe it or not.
Truth has taken a beating in this postmodern age to the point where many believe we cannot know truth about anything from religious claims to historical claims. Instead we are left to interpret or construct our own truth & no one's truth is any "truer" than anyone else's. This video shows how ridiculous that really is.
The video also does a good job of making the point that when we stand up for truth, we are not being intolerant. If someone is presented with a truth that they choose not to believe, it does not make the truth relative, nor does it make the presenter intolerant. The truth is still the truth.
So if you're a believer in absolute truth, this video may give you another way to get your point across when engaging with someone who believes truth is relative. If you don't believe in absolute truth, watch this video, then give it some honest thought. Enjoy!
