EU, that stinks.

Ok so it was a poor pun on words, but it was the best I could come up with. The European Union has recently had their 50th anniversary, but upon the signing of the document to mark the occassion they have left someone out. Namely God. For the first time they have made a completely secular document to the protesting of the Anglican and Catholic Church.

My opinion is that this is a definate good thing. For one it shows that the rest of the world is finally getting the idea of what America stands for, whether we get it or not. Secularization of the world is slowly growing and is now being shown in politics. Discrimination due to religion is one of the last prevailing threats to freedom. Now slowly that is also being shut down.

Please post your opinions on secularization and whether or not seperation of church and state should exist.

You Can't Handle The Truth

Since Psychopomp didn't bother to post this week, just messing, I shall jump in put forth a topic that I want to see on here. That being the truth. What is the definition of truth? Is it universal?

My opinion of Truth is that of relativity. There is no logical way for their to be an absolute truth in philosophy of course. It becomes problematic when we delve into tautologies and scientific laws. In the scope of idealogy and interpretation through observation, it is rare that any two human beings view things identically. I'm very interested in where this might go and in all of your ideas. Please post and hopefully through my responses I can fully develop my ideas as it is difficult to put together a coherent opinion with so many different possible situations.
