Truth is... truth. It belongs only to God. What we are discussing here is
men's views of the truth, and who's view is the best, along with accusations
of lies. All history contains some falsehood because we cannot comprehend
the truth and give it balance. We emphasize one thing over another according
to our own biases and to the fashion of the day. Not all falsehoods are
lies. The heart of a lie is the intent to deceive. Not all error is an
attempt at deception... And not all facts are given free of an intent to
deceive.
Look at these things as an opportunity for friendly, intellectual
discussion, not an opportunity to call this group or that liars.
