Truth is twisted and misconstrued - but you capture the absolute truth in just a few words. Hugs an blessings, Jennifer.

Ain’t that the truth Jennifer, I usually spend a lot of time researching before believing the things I hear and see, especially on multimedia platforms, cheers David

I suppose if they mention God it must be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth and many fall for it. Tom

It certainly adds gravitas to put God in the same sentence as truth, but as you pointed out many fall for it, which suggests the plain truth is perhaps being tweaked a little, in a court of law that’s certainly routine, cheers David

Nice. Perhaps moral relativism now makes folks feel like they have to identify whose truth it is?

Could well be Jeff, indeed it’s a subjective question, but we really are unquantifiable beings when it comes to truths, cheers David

I think it’s a fair question Paulette, the only answer I can come up with is the unique human condition, cheers David
