Line 1: − Truth has a very widely known liberal bias. According to Andy Schafly, it is "six times more liberal than the American public."+ − Oh, and JPatt, before you ban me, get off the computer, get out of your mother's basement, and enjoy some fresh air of change, and a honest meal for a change.

<small>This Conservapedia entry focuses on the concept of truth relating to God and society; for the definition as a philosophical and logical term, see [[truth_(logic)]].</small>
'''Truth''' is one of the fundamental building blocks of [[reality]]. One could probably say that without truth, nothing could exist. In fact, not only is truth a fundamental building block of reality, but it is also a central character trait and attribute of the one who is in control of all things, namely [[God]] himself. Jesus Christ, the second Person of the [[Trinity|triune God]], proclaimed about himself in John 14:6, "...I am the way, and the <u>truth</u>, and the life...". From that verse and others, we can conclude that truth is not something external to God himself, but is rather something that is inextricably joined and a part of His Being.
== Truth as a Value ==
Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as deceit or corruption. [[Christian]]s in particular uphold Truth as a desirable value, since it is something taught by the [[Bible]], and [[Jesus]] himself.
As a rule, liberals do not hold Truth to be an important value. They believe that truth is subjective, and everyone can freely decide on his own version of truth, see [[moral relativism]].
==Opponents==
Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[communist]] [[China]] and [[Adolph Hitler]]'s [[Nazi Germany]]. Such enemies typically advocate the wide use of [[censorship]]. Incidentally, many [[liberals]] also advocate the use of [[censorship]] in the form of [[political correctness]], e.g. refusing to describe someone as crippled or as spastic when they plainly are, out of some misguided notion of politeness. Former [[Vice President]] and notorious [[liberal]] [[Al Gore]] made several untruthful claims in his documentary [[An Inconvenient Truth]]. Many [[liberal]]s mock Truth by coining terms like "truthiness" ([[Stephen Colbert]]) to deride the real nature of truth.
