Truth is believing what you think is True. Just look at the word history... HIS STORY... A person, with the means to project the version of a story which we are lead to believe is true. The truth is always in the eye of the beholder IMHO.eXg. Ruiner wrote:Hehe, let's not lock this thread. I love discussing these topics, I come here for enlightenment and discussion of our beliefs.

It's hard to make out truth these days. Though it's there, you just have to search for it and keep looking. It's worth living for in my opinion
So what is truth?
What created existence? A speck of dust, an area of space, gravity, heat, light, gases and life itself.
What does it take for people to believe in God?
Does anyone know who King Solomon is and what he did. And once you learn of who and what he did, would you believe? It wasn't too long ago, the same for Jesus walking this earth. People doubt his existence, why? Because they have to see it for themselves, a lack of faith? Or knowledge of comprehending the history.
History becomes legend, legend becomes myth and truth is lost.
I could write so much more.
I'd like to know what truth is from everyone reading this personally ;]
man ruiner like marley said deep stuff rite there. a good point i think u made in there is how much of the documentation of Jesus do u believe is true, or is it just writing. considering how many people were persecuted for it after he died for following him, i believe it is true. but very good points in there i thinkeXg.

While that may be what you believe, it's like I said above, I don't believe that there's some greater force, or ever was. From my point of view it's all science and math, calculations and formulas, some of which have not been fully interpreted/discovered yet. I know that it's most likely that the majority of the rest of the world thinks otherwise, and that's their choice. It's all about any particular person's perspective on history, the difference between what one person believes is truth to another. People's words against other people's, who's to say who is right? I don't really know/care why I'm here, I just go by what I know is 100% true, which is that I'm here now, living, doing what I want/feel is right and going by what I see/experience throughout my life.eXg.

I am my own person, and the only thing that can hold me back from doing what I want to do, or allow me to excel at something, is myself.
whatever, it doesn't really matter to me because I know that everyone's perspective will differ on different points. You guys know me, I don't go off very often, so feel free to bash/ridicule or whatever you feel like. I love to hear what people say regardless if it's completely against what I believe or not. I'm actually beginning to like this thread more, hearing how different people see one huge component, interesting.
