truth will not change with place or people. Truth is not reltive. Truth is not a feeling. Truth is always related to the reality.

Yes, I believe in Absolute Truth.
E.g., the Absolute Truth is that God exists (irrespective of whether anyone believes in him or not).
For scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm
Cordially,
John

To answer your questions, yes. However, there can be more than one truth and yet be related to reality.
If I had a large vase, turned it upside down, painted it white all over, but put two very different designs on each side, here is how this truth would sound to two different people each looking at opposite sides of the vase.
Person 1 says I see a vase. Person 2 agrees. Person 1 says its upside down. Person 2 agrees. Person 1 says it has a white background. Person 2 agrees. Person 1 says it has a painting of a frog. Person 2 disagrees. Person 2 sees a nice garden scene. Now each person is looking at the same vase and agree on several things about it, but yet can't agree on the painting. Each person is correct based on their own truth and it is based on their reality or perspective.

There are two truths. Objective truth, and subjective truth. I will explain. Take someone who hasn't worn shoes a day in his life and stand him on hot concrete, he will tell you the asphalt isn't that hot, he will hold his foot up and their will be no blister. Take someone who has never gone without shoes, stand him on hot concrete and he will cry how it burns, hold his foot up and there is a blister. They each told the truth but their truths are contradictory. this is subjective truth. The objective truth would be that the concrete registers a certain degree of whatever scale you wish to use. Objective truth describes what is, subjective truth describes how is affects us. Between both truths, ( or rather in the summation of the two), is absolute truth. both are equally important, yet incomplete.

Absolutely not. Heh, heh. If Truth is always related to reality, it would have to change as fast as reality changes. Now, where did that cat go? Are your eyes open or shut? Does anybody really know what time it is? Have you ever changed your mind? How about your underpants? How do you spell "relative"?

The Truth is we are trapped in a maze and the only way out is to realize it and rebuild it and keep rebuilding it till its perfect. That may take forever and I hope it does honestly. But whats perfect for you isnt perfect for me and vice versa so lets just get to the point where we can all make are own universe and live in it while still being connected to each other. Thats my dream and truth anyhow.

We all live to meet the ultimate truth. Being sincere to what is revealed (known) to us as on the moment is truth to each of us. But the ultimate truth is the end of search. They moment we know that, we are truth or we are a part of the truth.

I agree, that which is true is that which does not change. All else is relative, and is only "true" to the extent that it conforms to the parameters laid out. For instance, "fire is hot" is true, but "my Dad is smart" is not truth, although it may be accurate. Truth is not the accurate description of facts. That would be correctness.
But, from the absolute perspective, there is no truth as we understand it. Because reality only exists in the physical world because of the co-existence of opposites. So, in the absolute, everything is true, if we perceive it, and simultaneously nothing is true when we don't. I think that all that is left is conciousness, which is indeed true.

No, I do not believe in absolute truth at all. I believe that perception is truth and the truth changes for each person with each individual perception. No one can tell another what "their" truth is.

No. I believe in science and evolution. The good thing about science is that the true is changing all the time. The true of today can be false tomorrow, that's very good. True is a relative term.
If the universe is not static, why I have to believe in a static true or being?

Abosulte truth is depend on reality and reality can be created.
Which means absolute truth is proportional(not equal) to reality.
Therefore I believe in Absolute Truth

i dont believe in absolute truth because that will get you in trouble 50% of the time. Knowing when to lie is sometimes better.
