You have seen the light!
People will quote their beliefs, but that is all it is, THEIR beliefs, NOT the TRUTH!

There's statement of fact. Gravity works, there's such and such in the fridge, I'm sitting in a chair. But when it comes down to speaking Theologically, no, there is no definite truth. Divinity is Boundless and Perfect. Divinity can be found in any of It's Creations. Who are we to try to put labels on it or say what it does or doesn't do. If you belong to an organized religion, isn't the basis of that religion to form a closer relationship with your Deity? Think of all the people you have to be in a day. Imagine how many more Divinity has to be.

Hey, there you go. There is no definite truth. That's all there is. There isn't anymore. No intelligent person will believe this sentence is true just because I say it is, even if some guys recorded it in a book that will be passed on for over a thousand years.. And there's no telling if there's an afterlife.. Nobody knows if God is real.. If someone thinks they know the definite truth, they're a moron.

It is definitely true that I have Turkey and Rice in my fridge right now. I would say that there are probably definite truths to the nature and origin of the universe but I would agree that humans are unable to know these truths (at least yet).

Are you certain? Because if there is NO definite truth, then you have stated a definite truth and therefore your statement would be false.

Yes . Truth is definite. If you jump off a building you will fall.. Gravity is a definite truth.
People choose what Truth they will subject themselves to or believe in. This is where the differences in opinion come in and where they CHOOSE to believe or not to believe in what is comfortable to them, or not comfortable..

This is relativism, the opposite of which is absolutism.
The logical problem with relativism is that "There is NO definite truth" is in itself an absolutist statement.
The common sense problem is that definite physical laws (and maybe even moral laws) do seem to exist.
Absolutism runs into other problems, mainly to do with how you establish those absolutes.

Truth is complicated. Usually there is more to any situation that would originally seem to be the case. However, absolute truth exists in some cases, such as in empirical observation, and not in others, such as in ethics and morality. The use of logic merely to answer this question, whether in the affirmative or negative, denotes the reality and truth of logical reason.

There are many relative truths, but certainly not all of them.
A triangle has 3 sides.
I am definitely pregnant.
There is definitely salt in the ocean.
My mom and dad definitely love me.
Relativism can be great to an extent, but don't let it makes yourself go crazy.

There most definitely ARE truths! They just don't have anything to do with religion. Look to science for truth.
