Truth: Word-SwitchingAn essay by James | 4/10/2008When my friends refer to their belief that truth is relative to the mind, one of the most common phrases I hear is “It’s true to you,” or “It’s not true to me.” For example, when talking about God, one of them would say, “Well, God is true to you, but not to an atheist. |

I appreciate their friendship, but their point of view, frankly, doesn’t make sense. |
