The Truth Project




I am excited about taking this class at church after seeing the first session. There is some material in this that I have never really thought about before. If the world tells us that all truth is relative, then how do we know what is right and wrong? If it is wrong if someone thinks I am wrong, then should I be imprisoned for driving my car slower than someone else wants me too? What is our basis for truth?

If we really were to "progress" to the point where we re-thought all the fundamental rules and maxims, what would our new world look like? Would it be better? Would there be more or less suffering? More love or more selfishness?
