Mine eyes
have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
God IS the truth.
There are no Alternate facts. There are only facts. It is not for you to tell a lie because you
think people can’t handle the truth, or
that they will panic if they are told the truth. If you believe that people are godly, then if
God is truth, how can they panic or find any truth inconvenient.
People may believe that WWE wrestling is real. It is athletic and strenuous, but it is entertainment,
which why there is an E in its name. People
can willing suspend belief and be entertained by stories, but still know that they are stories. And yet there are people who believe Soap Operas are real (or
that “reality” TV is real ). People can, and do, believe that the earth is flat because it appears flat to them. People can believe that aliens constructed
the Nazca lines, the Egyptian pyramids, or the Easter Island Moas, because they
can not believe that an “inferior” people
could have done these. People can believe
that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old despite all evidence to the contrary. As long as those people can respond to facts
with “I don’t know about that”, fact checking or saying “yet it moves” may only
make those who believe in the truth feel better. The opposing view to truth is by definition false. People are entitled to their own opinions but
they are not entitled to their own facts. Teaching the opposing view to truth
is teaching what is false. Like in the Song,
let us battle for the truth.
