Why is most every thread on this forum heading to the dogs?

LG, even your jokes are like concrete so stuck in the gravity of your materialism that they can't even get off the ground. Nothing goes over your head ?

Truth depends on the information you have available and the expectations you have of your surroundings
It was once true that the world is flat
It was once true that the known world is at the center of the universe
It was once true that the solar system is the center of the universe
It was once true to some cultures that sacrificing virgins will bring a bountiful harvest
It was once true that blowing yourself up in the presence of perceived enemies will earn you a special place in a heaven
It was once true that there is life after death since our lives, finite in years, cannot comprehend an absolute end to matter's emergence of a curious thing called consciousness
It was once true that the human ape is the pinnacle of creation, the master of the universe, god's child, fashioned to his likeness
It was once true that there is a god, a god that knows and cares about your life experience here on earth
What am I saying?
I am merely pointing out that truth, information and your mental background (your expectations of your surroundings) shade your perceptions and form your personal truth. They are not absolute. Since our lives are shaped by information we receive (be it through telescope or microscope, experiments, experience or deduction) and we are bound within a sphere limited by the speed of light, absolute truth is as unatainable and impossible as a spatial center of the universe
Nature has no truth, the word truth was formed in language to interprete repetitive patterns that the human ape can use to predict the movements of herds for a more bountiful hunt.

It is always true that, "As You Think -- So You Become."

Truth and wisdom must agree with the real objective facts, to be true. All other truth is your own personal private abstract language of subjective ideas...

Prehaps I should have named this thread;what is reality,can we know it?Would that make
a difference?Possibly.
One can surely argue truth and reality,with equal gusto,can one not?
