Line 1: − <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. − − [[Conservatives]] value truth, and wish to seek it. − == 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 (in the absolute sense) 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]] or [[nihilism]]. − − ==Opponents== − Many opponents of truth have arisen over the course of human history, such as [[communist]] [[China]], [[Adolf Hitler]]'s [[Nazi Germany]], and The [[Obama Administration]], and, by extension, [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. 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 of the United States of America|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]] to deride the real nature of truth. − − Liberals don't understand truth on a very basic level. They assume that truth is something intrinsic to the Universe, but in fact, it is intrinsic to God. Without God, there is no truth. Without truth, there is no morality. Without morality, you can do whatever you want. This is the basis of Liberalism and it explains why Liberals feel the desire to mock truth. − − ==See also== − *[[God]] − *[[Jesus Christ]] − *[[Holy Spirit]] − − ==External links== − *[http://www.christianity.co.nz/truth1.htm Truth in Christianity] − *[http://www.aim.org/wls/category/truth/ What Liberals Say - Category: Truth], [[Accuracy In Media]] − − [[Category:Philosophy]] − [[Category:Attributes of God]] − [[Category:Dictionary]]
