I believe in absolute truths. You're equating truth with a requirement to force others to believe the same... which I actually view as opposite of truth.
Truth doesn't need coercion - only lies do.
- creep 9y agoI don't believe in absolute truth so perhaps I didn't make my statement ambiguous enough as to that topic. But I do agree that forcing others to believe is the opposite of truth, and I did not mean to equate truth with that.
