Just curious as it's mentioned from time to time.

If you say you know the Truth with a capital T what are you referring to?

Or if you're someone who reads the Truth on here, what does it mean to you?

It means someone has been brainwashed or is grandiose.

It refers to, "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life." Peace

In the forum where this is posted it would mean a spiritual or even philosophical basis for conducting our lives that is valid as opposed to harmful.

To me it means that what Jesus taught is: Truth.
Not speaking of 'truth in general', but as Jesus said at John 17:17 that God's Word (Scripture) is (religious) Truth.
Jesus' teachings is the religious ' truth ' that sets people free from what is religiously false.- John 4:23-24.

After on prisoner started studying the Bible someone said to him that he was being brainwashed.
He replied that the bad condition his brain was in that his brain needed a good washing.

The truth is the complete and accurate description of an event or an object. Anything else is an opinion. Majority opinion is often put forward as "the truth." This is only accurate insofar as it exactly corresponds to an event or an object.

For example:
A right wing radio genius shot up a pizza parlor because he believed stories he heard on the radio that the pizza parlor was acting as front for a child slavery racket run by Hillary and Obama. The physical evidence indicated at the time that this actually occurred. It is therefore the truth.

That the pizza parlor was actually a front for a child sex slave racket was false.

The conclusion that all right wing radio listeners are incredible idiots is an opinion.

The Truth is a Person, a Person who comes into your heart. That's not an opinion always, it's a demonstrable fact once you have experienced it. Peace

truth

we don't know how we got here and don't know what we are evolving to. But we do know that a bunch of, seemingly, non living aggregate of waves (~mystic 2017) make this volume of space alive.

personally, that's what I think theists think they feel and some atheists deny it, well, for personal gut wrenching experiences they haven't resolved yet.
