In other words, does the majority rule? Can the masses dictate Truth? Every Truth?

No.
Truth is truth, even if nobody believes it.
When the majority of people believed the world was flat, it didn't make it flat.
When the majority of people thought the sun revolved around the sun it didn't make it so.
The truth does not require faith or belief to be what it is. It is.
The ability to obtain great resources helps to "get the word" out.
Doesn't mean that what they are saying is true.

Truth is truth whether we believe it or not.
The cities of Sodom & Gomorrah were 100% believing falsly and God destroyed them.
The whole world except for Noah was wrong and God destroyed them. God will only allow the majority to rule to a certain point and then he calls the end. Life is not without limits or we would really do some stranger things that we are now doing.

Some times yes. It has happened many times and will again. The world was flat at one time and it took a lot of proof before the masses believed it. The calender we use was not in existence until five hundred years after they say Christ died. people believe it started when Christ died. Many things.

N o. Truth is in and of itself Truth whether everyone believes it or no one believes it. Truth is absolute.

No. It's not only possible for everyone to be wrong, it's happened many times before, and is likely still happening. Humans are pretty dim witted and are easily fooled.
