I like chasing it. Like chasing the rainbow I'll probably never catch it !
Of course that won't stop me trying.

Do you think it can be caught?

Would you equate the truth with God?

Yes I would, and I imagine I will never satisfactorily conceptualise God.
Of course not. Truth is a property of the relationship between a proposition and what the proposition refers to.

That is how someone who has studied philosophy as an academic discipline would view it I imagine ?
That's why I believe it's like the rainbow and cannot be caught. Whether or not you can see the rainbow at all depends on where you are standing and we're all stuck in ourselves.

So, do you know the truth about God?

I am a product of the universe and therefore unable to define it nor conceptualize it. Just as a computer can never overcome human intelligence, just as the sun will never rotate around the Earth, I will never be able to define something greater than myself.
So no, I don't know, and can never know, the "truth".
Hallelujah. :bow:
Which truth about God are you referring to?
Magic Man

What it is. Can you define God truthfully?
You can define various people's conceptions of god. However, in so far as the terrain, god, is unknown, you cannot make a map of that terrain which you know to be true.

I don't know the truth. And no one else does either... and I am pretty sure no one will ever know it. And I'm not going to try to figure it out either... That's too much work for something I will never accomplish... (And by "truth" I am referring to how life, the universe, and everything started...)
