True or False: When it comes to Religion, TRUTH is subjective?

Answer 1

In most cases it is true, especially since most religions calim to be the true ones - and if one of them is the true one then all the others are false :) If that is not subjective, then what is?

Answer 2

There is little, if any objective truth.
The only thing that I can know objectively, is that in having a thought, some being or mechanism was necessary for that thought to have been had. The thought necessitates something to have "had" the thought.

Other than that, there is really nothing that could have not been conceivably contrived in another fashion. I could be residing in a contrivance where my nerve cells are connected to some device which feeds them information; a virtual reality, i.e. Matrix. I have no way of knowing this with absolute certainty.

The best that I can do is to live as if what I perceive is real. To do so costs me nothing. It makes sense and it satisfies the conditions of what I believe reality to be.

While I can't be certain in an absolute sense that what I know is objectively true, I can act upon the best possible evidence that I have.

What I have MAY be subjective, the subjective evidence from multiple 'perceived' sources leads me to believe that the evidence seems more objective than subjective.

Answer 3

False. You get into the area above humankind. For humans, we do not have an entire understanding of things. So, what is true for one person would not be true for one who has a better understanding of the matter at hand. When we talk about religion, we talk about the one living God, the Creator.

There is only one truth and many falsehoods. What is true is the force and truth of the true God. He put down our purpose, the reason we were made by Him and what He wants from us in the Bible.

Where we get ourselves into trouble is interpreting it with men's beliefs interfering. Many of man's beliefs are entirely wrong. Leaning upon our own understanding is why there are so many false religions in existence. Instead, we need to let the Bible explain itself. Other scriptures will help us to understand what one scripture means. This gives us an accurate meaning to what God means.

Answer 4

Yes. True.

Truth, concerning religion, is a very personal thing. What may hold true for one may not be so for another. If all truth was the same, then there would only be one religion and one dogma. As people are free-thinking individualists, we all have varying opinions as to what truth is.

My personal truth is Atheism. It just makes the most sense to me.

Answer 5

Many people believe that sincerity or heart felt belief is enough. Many also believe that there are no absolute truths. If that were true, I challenge anyone to believe that they can walk through a solid brick wall through sincere belief. I will accept examples of others if you cannot do it yourself. Or what if I wanted to call my friend on the phone, and his number was 111-1111, and I refused to use that number and wanted to choose my own number to dial and still reach him? No matter how sincere I was, nor how strong my belief system it would not work.

Is the statement "There are no absolutes" an absolute? Is the speaker absolutely sure there are no absolutes?

Answer 6

When it comes to religion, what some people say is truth, is actually just a belief.

Answer 7

Some religions get too carried away and forget the truth or take bits of the bible to suit it to themselves, instead of studying it (and the whole context of the passage) and pray to God to get the real meaning.

Answer 8

absolutely, as truth (in the case of religion) is not based on verifiable evidence, but the feelings produced by the services attended.

Answer 9

All truth is what one makes it, so True.

Answer 10

Everything is subjective, everything is relative. Even what we generally consider facts are relative to the situation, the environment where things happen.
