truth

I used to live here. Then I moved. I came to visit a few times and found that you can never go home again. But now I'm leaving Facebook, which has been my home for about 19 years, and @arthwollipot suggested I come back, so here I am, giving it a try. On my mind is how to exist in a...

What is truth, if not contingent upon the fact that some-thing exists?

The Truth Tour - right-wing radio hosts to go to Iraq "to report the good news" I wonder if all soldiers will get a chance to air their opinions or only soldiers who agree with the Truth Tour team.

Nothing makes me more skeptical when I come across an organization or a group who use the word "Truth" in their name. Its almost used in an Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" way. Here are just a few examples: TrueOrigins: "Much of the material published by evolutionists embodies precisely such a...

UFO researcher Nick Redfern’s new book on Roswell. It wasn’t aliens, Mogul, weather balloons, or crash test dummies. (all explanations put forth by the U.S. government.) According to Redfern, it was this: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2005/06/21.html

Errol Morris: "There Is Such a Thing as Truth" This short essay was presented on NPR yesterday. It's nicely summarized in this quote: A refreshingly rational perspective.

Hollywood simply can't keep up with reality... :D

God either exists or He doesn't exist. And this is the absolute truth. So, what does this tell us about any materialistic notions we might have? That they are purely a matter of belief.

From www.imao.us : Know Thy Enemy: Iran It looks like Iran could be next on the list for getting "democratic reforms," if you know what I mean. Thus, I had my crack research staff find out all they can about the country. FUN FACTS ABOUT IRAN * Iran is part of the Axis of Evil along with...

Just saw an ad on TV from Operation Truth, another 527 group with no obligation to tell the truth. Their TV ad claimed the Bush admin claimed Iraq was behind 911. Way to go McCain/Feingold!

You know, I don't think John Kerry would make a bad president. I'm sure he could do just a good a job as anyone else. If he ends up winning it won't be the end of the world and western civilization like the Bush camp makes out. For the life of me though, I still can't fathom the logic behind...

An interesting point of view by an Iraqi exile. No fan of Saddam, but no fan of Dubya either. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/09/1081326923607.html

My radio awakes most mornings before I do. It's up at 6 AM, like clockwork (ho, ho) and sometime later I follow. Part of the ritual is the voice of Howard Stern. This morning, something was different. The first thing I heard this morning was really bad music. Not some silly song parody. Then...

This is an article in todays Aftenposten, the main non-tabloid in Norway. Unfortunately it's not available in English, but I've attempted to translate the best parts here: One step forward, and two steps back. Led by minister of health, "Mullah" Høybråten of the Christian People's party the...

The following ad was in a local community magazine. I've added the rectangle to emphasize the good part. Sorry for the blurriness - I had to squeeze the image to get it under the 25Kbyte limit. Or is there a way to attach larger images?

The similarity between science and religion as philosophies is that both groups state outright that there is a truth out there. There is a real world and we know how it works. Both groups quibble about what this truth is, and how to obtain it, but the basic ideology is the same. It has been...
