Not always but usually. There’s always a fringe group of contrarians.

@WintaTheAngle And If everything we keep as truth today are wrong at the end??
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal Sorry I don’t understand. Do you mean we need to revisit what happened if new info comes to light? Yes we would.

We have to avoid politicalised revisionist activity though. That’s just replacing an ugly truth with a convenient lie.

@WintaTheAngle So if there's a region of space or under the ocean that we haven't discovered yet, that makes it nonexistent?
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@SinlessOnslaught That isn’t the point I was making. I was suggesting we shouldn’t obscure ugly truths to avoid offending changing sensibilities.

@WintaTheAngle I mean, what if what we knowing as truth today was not in reality the truth... Example, if all the knowledge you got at school are not the truth... Do you understand me now ??
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal Yes I understand. It depends on if you’re talking about recorded history or science which is constantly changing
Hougal · 31-35, M
@WintaTheAngle Especially on recorded history
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal Like what?
Hougal · 31-35, M
@WintaTheAngle The Religion by example... All religions have not the same explanation
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal I don’t take religion seriously. There is no religious truth to begin with.
Hougal · 31-35, M
@WintaTheAngle How ? Explain me plz
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal Well you can’t be sure of anything. You have to believe. But that’s not the same as knowing.
Hougal · 31-35, M
@WintaTheAngle That's is something that Confuse my mind
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Hougal Faith is belief. It’s not the same as knowing.

But that’s what makes it special. You don’t need to know, you have faith.
