I created and posted this to my Facebook today. It's a joke but really it's also a comment on how people will follow what someone else says simply because they say something that SOUNDS true.
Truth is absolute and must remain that way in order for it to exist. Since we know that truth exists then it needs to be absolute.
Many times people believe what is told to them simply because it sounds believable. They believe things like "In God We Trust" was taken off of some dollar coins. They believe things like eggs will stand on end on the vernal equinox. They believe that science can prove a preference for writing hand or a sexual preference. None of these things are true.
People in America need to stop believing everything just because it sounds true and do some research. Check some sources for the information that you are given. Ignorance from people in our country is caused by people agreeing with other opinions simply because it sounds good or aligns with what they already presupposed.
How can you expect to defend what you believe or even believe anything at all if you have no stock invested in discovering the truth of such beliefs? A belief with no research behind it is simply a hunch.
