"Everything is relative"-Einstein, is the truth relative too?

Question

what i mean by this is, are the religion just a perception of the truth?and if so, then is the truth the perception of one`s mind?

Answer 1

religions have wrong perceptions in addition to intolerance embedded into them of other factors that would otherwise contradict their beliefs and thinking pattern...

they claim to be the truth for selfish reasons too. its sickening

Answer 2

Yes, I believe religions are merely perceptions of the Truth presented. They are man's perceptions of the things presented. As for truth being relative, I believe a lot of it is. Some of it are things which we all agree on as truth. 1 + 1 = 2.

*Now some smartas.s is going to jump on this and give a scientific quotation to prove that 1 + 1 = 0.

Answer 3

In a sense, perhaps. This has nothing to do with the theory of relativity, though, so don't bring Einstein into this.

But there's a good point here; we are much more influenced by our own prejudices and cultures than we realize.

Answer 4

somewhat certainty and actuality are actually not subjective, they are objective. a individual's concept could lead them to "have faith" in any different case, although, the character of certainty does no longer bend to their will, nor does it bend to the means of their suggestions. in accordance to Erich Fromm, actuality is "an invaluable approximation of certainty". In that appreciate, "a scientifically or rationally valid assertion ability that the means of reason is utilized to each and all of the obtainable documents of commentary with out any of them being suppressed or falsified for the sake of a needed consequence". The background of technological know-how is "a background of insufficient and incomplete statements, and each new perception makes achievable the acceptance of the inadequacies of previous propositions and gives you a springboard for springing up a extra sufficient formula". as a consequence "the background of theory is the background of an ever-increasing approximation to the certainty. scientific information isn't absolute yet optimal; it contains the optimal of actuality obtainable in a given historic era". Fromm apart from notes that "distinctive cultures have emphasised fairly some factors of the certainty" and that increasing interaction between cultures enables those factors to reconcile and combine, increasing added the approximation to the certainty. whether Erich might disagree, there is an somewhat absolute actuality or certainty, which exists independently of our perceptions, evaluations, or "ideals", and his "ever increasing approximation" is the form in direction of that absolute actuality...

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Einstein was talking about SCIENCE, not ethics or theology. In fact he said, "God does not play dice with the universe". Would that sound like an atheist to you? Not to me.

Answer 7

Einstein also said, "All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal."

Answer 8

truth IS NOT relative. there can be only one true religion and only one truth, because there is no way these contradictory religions mean the same thing or have the same end.

Answer 9

Truth, Reality, and Faith are seperate issues. DON'T CONFUSE US!!!!
