Truth is one of the fundamental building blocks of reality. One could probably say that without truth, nothing could exist. In fact, truth a fundamental building block of reality, as opposed to fiction, an example being God. Jesus Christ, the second Person of the triune God, proclaimed about himself in John 14:6, "...I am the way, and the 'truth', 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 has been rammed into his gay arse by pedophile priests. This was without God's consent, as he was too busy writing 'Death to Science' on a giant board.
One example of a truth, known to the majority of Western civilisation, is the following mathematical identity: 2+2=5 This identity has been proven using the Bible itself[citation needed]. The Bible is of course the ultimate guide to the universe, even more so than "Face, A Guide On How to Suck It", written by Texta(c) and published by Cardboard Leftovers(c).
Difficulties
When considering truth, certain difficulties arise. For example, one person might consider certain facts and values to be the truth, based on what they see and hear, but these same facts might be considered or indeed known to be false by others. Other problems include the concept of "Absolute Truth", insofar as people will naturally disagree as to what truths are absolute. [1]
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. Christians in particular uphold Fiction as a desirable value, since it is something taught by the Bible, and Jesus himself, alongside hatred for any non-Christians
