You keep trying that lie. Then I challenge you to prove it, and you somehow disappear. Four or five times now.Agreed! And reasonable people will come to different conclusions, based on their perspective.If both ends on an argument are convinced they have The Truth on their side, which one is right?We really should have vice like grip on the truth since having a vice like grip on anything else is a vice-like grip on something that isn't the truth. Do you think people should embrace a lie?
.
Your question implies they both can't be right at the same time since we are asking which ONE is right. This means that there has to be a true and false between them. Which one that is is up to us to decide.
That means that even the interpretation of The Truth is subjective. So to paint The Truth as having only one possible meaning simply doesn't work.
.
WHat you are saying if two people are haveing an argument and one is telling the truth and the other is not telling the truth two observers can be watching it and come up with two different opinions on which is which.
"Wouldn't this mean that each is telling the truth and an a lie at the same time. How is that possible?"
It's not.
The problem is that certain posters (cough-Mac-Cough) have a palpable fear of actually choosing a side....no matter which is lying and which is telling the truth.
For them (him), equivalency is more important than rectitude.
Thank you for yet another lovely example of my point, the simplistic, binary thought of hardcore partisan ideologues on both sides. Right on cue.
