Truthiness as defined by Stephen Colbert:
A thing which a person claims to know intuitively, instinctively, or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts.
Now that we know what it means.. is this the way to explain creation, resurrection, a god-man, mythology.. evolution.. or is it as the church lady says .. just ... Satan?

I don't think we could overestimate the impact.

I'd say that truthiness IS religion and spirituality and a lack of truthiness would mean nothing to the next man.

I understand it completely, and accept it. It is called Mystery. It is what provokes our inner spirit to search for more, to wonder. It is what makes us (or me at least) wake up in the morning and smile knowing that there is something far greater than me in the universe.
There is no evidence of God. One cannot prove that ther is one, or that there isn't one. There is no evidencve of Love. It cannot be created, synthethised, or repoduced in labratory experiments. But yet in hy heart of hearts I know that it is true, and exists. If that is the truthiness of which you speak, than I am all for it.

I know, although through the medium of language I can only explain it as well as humanly possible, which might be regarded as "truthiness."

Thank you for that input. All I have to say to you is God does exist and the Bible is truth.

Truth is the antidote to religion.

Great question. It is what it is is what I say. This should be fun though. Truth is something different to everybody.

Or God . . .
