Is that statement true or false?

If that statement is true, then that statement is false.

As such, I see a problem with that statement.

lol, I actually meant that as a joke, didn't expect people to take it seriously. For the very reasons you mentioned, that statement doesn't make logical sense. It's based on the sentence "This sentence is false", just adapted to fit the topic in question. The second sentence is some pseudo-philosophical bull that technically is true, but in itself doesn't contribute any new meaning. Obviously, in terms of what the human mind can comprehend, there are only perceptions of reality (yours and that of every other individual), but that doesn't preclude the existence of truth. Different perceptions just muddle things up, to the extent that sometimes the existence of an underlying truth may be doubted.

Come on, Khyron. This is me.

I'd never pick on you.

We're good buddies, right?

(Uh, who is this Khyron person, and why was he let onto Capt's ship? Do we have any of that gas left over? Looks like a trouble-maker to me.)

Sorry, if you thought I was jabbing at you.

Your post merely afforded me an opportunity to make a point which I'm sure you already knew before I pointed at it with some point-like object.

(Seriously, people, where's that gas? This person looks like trouble.)

The truth can not be argued with.

The truth is you can not believe the truth if you believe a lie.

River: Truth is a problem. We'll have to call it "early quantum state phenomenon".

Sorry; just woke up. :)

Saying that God authored confusion by creating Lucifer is like saying my sniper rifle goes out all by itself and shoots people 2 miles away so I dont get into trouble.

Unfortunately, we are waist deep in the renaissance right now. Fun, but no tie-ins

Cap'n, I'd pay you for this quote if I wasn't going to steal it anyways.

"Deep in the battlefield covered in blood
Lies an Airborne Ranger dying in the mud
He fought for his country and he died like a man
Though some people back home just wouldn't understand"

The truth is also an absolute which means it is something we can base our life on and not have the rug pulled out from under us.
I like you when you're being PHILOSOPHICAL.

I wish I had you as a teacher when I was taking world history. I would have done more listening and less sleeping.

The one problem I see with truth is what is true and what is false all depends on your defination of what truth is. If a person thinks truth is fact then what he says is true is going to be different from what someone else thinks is true if their defination of truth is their side of the story. It gets very complicated. But then if life wasn't complicated it would get very very boring

Truth should not be mistaken with perception of truth. The truth (what is not false) is true whether or not anyone perceives it to be so.

Captain phrased it somewhat differently ("The truth will never be a lie no matter how many people belive it"), as did Lalara ("absolute").

BTW, Alistair Beg (surprisingly from a show called "Truth for Life") just had a great talk on the radio today about "truth". I couldn't find an available transcript, but people with quicker connections than I have can probably listen here: http://www.truthforlife.org/listen_daily.php

It's ironic that I turn on the radio and hear Mr. Beg speaking about absolute truth while I'm reading this thread, right at this moment. lol
