Truth IS relative.
While standard thinking has always held that there is an object, and an observer, and to properly understand the object the observer must view it objectively, modern evidence often suggests a slightly different approach.
On the quantum level, it is now believed by many that location becomes a nonentity. Meaning that information is distributed nonlocally.
And there has been a substantial amount of research in recent years to show that not only can someone's perceptions affect how they PERCEIVE the results of an expiriment, but the results themselves.
If that is true, then truly seperating object from observer becomes impossible. Strict objectivity becomes impossible.
DarkJay, I am largely in agreement with your opinion of organized religion...but I disagree with your view on belief in god in general. Yes, religion can be dangerous, but belief in a higher power is not neccessarily the same thing as religion, or even close to the same thing. Religion implies a strict set of rules, teachings, and doctrines. Often fallacious ones. And because these teachings vary from religion to religion, belief in the form of religion causes tension between people, often lethal tension. But belief itself does not neccessarily conform to such standards. And because of this, belief itself does not have to be a dividing force. I hate to use a movie quote to illustrate my point, but in this case I think it's fitting: "Religion divides people...belief in SOMETHING unites them".
