The Let's Get Real Podcast: 9 Responses to the Relativistic Objections You May Use or Hear
Is truth absolute or relative? For anyone who claims to have done any evangelism and not engaged any objections to the subject of truth being knowable, has not done real evangelism in our post truth culture. Relativism is the philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. But, if we look further, we see that relativism is not a logical proposition. In fact it is hypocritical and self-refuting. On The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg, we take on some of the most popular objections to absolute truth and show how they fail.
In total we look at nine statements that are the most common. They are:
1. All truth is relative.
2. There are no absolute truths.
3. What is true for you but not for me.
4. No one can know anything for sure.
5. That is your reality, not mine.
6. We all perceive what we want.
7. You may not use logic to refute relativism.
8. We are only perceiving different aspects of the same reality, and
9. Relativism itself is excluded from the critique that it is absolute and self-refuting.
