ring of truth
Truth is, of course, something that no one person can know, for only the most arrogant of men would refuse to acknowledge that he is incapable of knowing everything about the universe. Nor can one claim to know that something is true with absolute certainty, even on a purely physical level. The greatest minds of all kind were the first to recognize their own fallability. It is the role humanity, then, to seek truth through observation, and to substantiate theoretical claims not with threats of eternal damnation but with logic and reason.
Those who declare that they know the truth--the only
truth--and insult you with demands of faith and sacrifice without any such
substantiation are undeserving of any real respect. Those who peddle faith
by appealing to humanities near-universal fear of death--those who demand
devotion to an entity whose existence is not even suggested (let alone
proved) by any evidence--those who require that you give up your own
convictions in preference to theirs are among the scum of the Earth and
lack any true dignity.
"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree."
Don't forget your password; you'll need it later to add other sites to the ring.
The Ring of Truth is part of the Webring, created by
Sage Weil in March of 1996.
