"But what of faith?"
From part 1, you may have suspected that I am advocating relative morality - that whatever a person believes is good and right for them but what I believe is good and right for me. I assure you that I am not. I strongly believe there is a right and a wrong, truth and error. But as you may recall, I advocated "questioning everything" - and therefore if everything is open for discussion and debate there must be no universal truth. Lets separate "everything," in my "question everything" mantra, into two categories: truth and opinion.
Truth
Truth is unchanging, it stands the test of time, and often times it is not seen but felt. I'd like to specifically talk about religious/eternal truth. I believe that questioning and seeking after faith will lead one to this truth. I have been raised in a religious home where I was encouraged to question what I was taught, search for answers, and to believe in things that I found out for myself (not just what my parents believed). Most importantly, I was taught that the only true answers I would ever receive was from the source of all truth. I believe that there is absolute truth. The bickering amongst religions is due to man's opinion getting intertwined with truth.
