[quote=Anonymous][quote]My friend, first things first: so glad I stumbled across another tea drinker!

Second, I'm terrible at texting, and all I have right now is my phone, after a long day. So this is a conversation that must wait for another time--eternity, perhaps?

But I did not want to go to sleep without assuring you I meant no disrespect at all--I am sure you have thought deeply, and I took too much away from your casual comment. I am an adult revert, who came back to my faith after much drama, so I have nothing but respect for those who, like myself, search sincerely for truth.

Perhaps we can pick this up again...

Another time indeed! Just post and we'll grab a cuppa and type our hearts out. [/quote]

My scientist fellow tea-drinker, I have a lot of time in doctor's offices and on the sidelines of the kids' sports today, so on the off chance you are still around, a question for you:

I took note of your statement that a difference between us is that I believe my truth is universal, while you accept that your truth is personal.  My question is this:  do you think everyone's truth is personal?  That there is no such thing as a universal truth?

I am as far from a scientist as they come, so I humbly confess that if you start talking quantum physics with me, I will quickly get lost.  So let's put aside universal truths about the physical universe, such as the conservation of matter or other similar concepts I vaguely recall from high school.  I'm just talking about universal truths of morality, right and wrong.  Do you think everyone's "truth" about right and wrong is a personal choice, with no universal norms floating around "out there"?  Morality is in the eye of the beholder, like beauty?
