Do you truly believe that? Just asking ...

  Do you? Seems like it struck a nerve with a lot of people. Not sure what their problem is.

    I was facetiously trying to point out the irony in your statement. I should have added a ;) .

    I didn't downvote you, but I believe I understand why folks got upset. It appears that you are taking a passive aggressive dig at all religions because the parent comment referenced a Christian biblical verse (1 Timothy 6:10). While this usually isn't an issue here, the comment appears unrelated to the main conversation and may be seen as trolling. I could be wrong.

      I actually didn’t even know that was a biblical verse, how would I? I’m not particularly religious. I figured it was just some other quote people say. My source was straight from German physicist and mathematician Max Born.

    Why was that comment flag killed?

    I think the emphasis on `you` made it seem as if you were directly attacking the parent.

      How does one differentiate between you the OP and you the reader?

  Nice! I see what you did there. It took me a while though: I was wondering if this statement is self-contradictory or not. Eventually, I figured it is not necessarily self-contradictory, but that it declares itself to be an evil belief (since it is a statement of universal truth that declares that the belief of any universal truth is evil). Of course I think it’s just incorrect. For my sake, I believe in truth and good, and that if someone finds a good thing, they should tell others about it in a respectful and loving way.

  Relativism: There is no absolute truth except the fact that there is no absolute truth. Nihilism: Nothing matters except for the fact that nothing matters.
