For a start... I'm not trying to come across as a nice person who can see things from other peoples perspectives and respect them... like I said, respect doesn't come into it :P

I make no claim to be able to see things from other peoples perspectives, if I could I would most probably agree with them, but I can't... so I don't... and I never said I respect those with religious beliefes :P

To your comment "If you have faith in one definition of truth, you reject all the other ones, by necessity. That's what faith means."

I completly agree with you... my faith in my definition of truth does force me to reject all other truths within what I see realitity is... but that doesn't mean I have to reject that it is true to that person.

I live life with the idea that we cannot truly prove anything, and so anything can be true to anyone... because I may not view reality the same way as someone else.

In a murderer's reality they believe it is true that killing is good... and whilst I don't share this truth, and certainly don't respect it... I have to acknowledge that unless I can somehow make this person see reality the way I do, their truth is still true to them.

Perhaps the problem with defining truth is that, in order to define it, we have to establish a truth... we cannot know what we percieve to be truth is true.

I'm loving "we can't figure out what's true anyway, so who cares." though... very accurate... well... to me anyway
