Is a lie a lie even if everyone believes it? Tweet
Joshua James User ID: 1483060 United States 08/08/2011 03:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Is a lie a lie even if everyone believes it? Is the TRUTH still the truth, if everyone is convinced its a lie? Im speaking in broad terms here i know.. but really think about what ive asked and give me your opinion.. i feel like im close to my own personl truth, and that the answer to this last question will give me final peace. What mechanism do we have to discern truth from deception? It drives me nuts, nearly to the point of jumping in a fire to see if i really burn.. (just a illistration of my frustration, not QUITE that stupid... im pretty stupid though) on a different note, i recommend someone to start a new site similar to GLP... Ive never spoken a ill word toward anyone yet im continually banned from nearly every device i use... is GLP just money hungry???

And they do that cause they have bot problems, I think.

Quoting: scallywagg444@yahoo.com 1497658 i know math is the ultimate truth, the window into gods mind... im not talking about math though. im reffering to right and wrong, good and evil, and how to know if your playing for the right team... morally

Are you differentiating between fact and truth? What is real and what is true? It seems so. Because obviously, regardless of what everyone believes, there are things that are not possible or actual (you cannot empirically demonstrate to me that you are capable of drawing a rectangle with the exact geometric properties of a triangle, no matter how much you or any other number of people may believe you can). I am like the space which permeates all objects, and is yet undefiled. I am of the nature of Absolute Consciousness. I can now cognize my Reality to be no other than That. Jnana Vashistha

On wikipedia a lie is the truth if someone believes it as they require you to assume good faith. In real life I believe a lie is still a lie.

Quoting: Advaita Vedantist i agree with you.. again im not talking about mathmatics or if a tree falls in the woods and no body is around does it make a sound. im talking about morality... is it personal, or is there a truth? and how would we know, if the answer was given, that we can trust it? how do you fact check morality?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1497329 i dont know... maybe.. we have proven over and over again via the double slit expiriment that thoughts effect matter. who knows the extent of it? rediculous to think we can fly im with you there.. but playing the devils advocate here, who knows the extent of this revelation?
