Yes it is...no one has a license or copyright for truth and nothing you see, read...etc. exists without some kind of interpretation. There is no is, only may be. - tweetie

How can truth be subjective? If it is then there can really be no truth at all.
EG 1: Truth IS subjective.
I say "A triangle has four sides."
you say "A triangle has three sides"
If truth is subjective, is only in ones mind then both must be true. However they are mutually exclusive, or break the law of contradiction. Since both cannot be true at the same time one must be false.
EG 2: Truth is absolute (Not a construction of ones own mind)
I say "A triangle has four sides."
you say "A triangle has three sides"
If truth is absolute, that is non subjective, then we have three options. Since these statements are mutually exclusive, wither I am correct and you are wrong, or you are correct and I am wrong, or we are both wrong.
For truth to in fact exist it cannot be subjective or relative in any way. Truth cannot merely be an opinion.

Yes, I subscribe to the thought that Truth is Subjective based upon the knowledge available.

No, truth is objective. Just because a person doesn't believe that one day they will have to stand before God and give an account of their life doesn't make it "not true". A person may believe that it is safe to cross the street but if a truck is coming at high speed all that they believe won't help them when they get run down. It's the same thing with what God tells us in the Bible.
Hebrews 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Truth is absolute. It is found in the Bible. Government doesn't control truth. Man cannot take a vote to decide truth. We can't take a census and change the value of 2+2. The Truth has been written and nothing in heaven of on the earth is going to change it!!

Your opinion, my opinion...the two are subjective, and robust sufficient.. for me. A dictionary meaning of the be conscious "subjective" is in simple terms a revealed version of an opinion of the meaning of the be conscious and according to danger even much less nearer to the actuality afterall it somewhat is subjective.

The truth is, just that. It's our perspectives which give it the subjective spin.

No. Truth is independent of the mind.

Probably there is truth, but no one knows what it is, though most claim to.
