Update 22

By Roger
To our surprise, Johnathon, told us that he thought the earth was flat. He is on the staff at Zimpeto and was driving us to a ministry outreach program.

We talked about the earth traveling around the sun and he disagreed, saying that the sun goes around the earth.

He also asked me, "What is truth?"
I said that you must be able to prove something for it to be true.

Then we got into a discussion about whether or not truth is the same for each person.
If you believe something to be true, correct or not, that belief will impact your perception of the world.
This seems to get to the issue of why people come to very different conclusions when given the same information.

The split in the US is coming from the different beliefs that individuals hold.
We need to find common truths that will bring us together.
