:::::::This inevitably depends on definitions of truth. Without wanting to put words into Mr Schlafly's mouth, I presume he is referring to a higher truth than the simply truth/falsity of a statement; this could be compared to the difference between 'faith' used as a synonym for any form of belief, and the specific theological concept of [[faith]]. Also the Romans of Augustus' day were very different, culturally, from the later, Christian Roman empire.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 12:19, 20 February 2009 (EST)
