Silmaril

Welcome to the Downs, Descender. While I have little time this morning, I feel compelled to briefly point out (others will tell you brevity is not my wont) that objective truth is not necessarily ultimate truth. That's why it's called objective. A table is a table, objectively. But ultimate truth is what we're discussing here, and a table from the perspective of say, a scientist, is ultimately a conglomeration of atomic particles. And the color red itself is not red, but rather a distortion of all other colors so that only red appears.

Objective truth is by nature superficial. And few religions claim this kind of superficiality to be ultimate truth. Usually they refer to the unseen or sublime, such as in the case of Christianity, God.
