These days in the modern world, one looks around the circumference of belief systems and likes to nibble upon each one, enjoying the benefits but ignoring the contradicting believes, or even difficult questions that arise. Its has become a truly “liberal” and “modern” approach to the depths of life. But whatever we see among the scholars and elites of our society, the objective and constructive truth of our forefathers is very much one belief system not to be considered or certainly embraced, because it is the one which is being very cunningly demolished. To often people will be lead by their emotions to ignore the entire process of justice, of what one considers to be evil, and whether evil needs to be eliminated and if so how could it be dealt with. These are metaphysical perils and trials which the ancients have wrestled with over and over again. Truth has not been exterminated by the changing of the times, whether one becomes a modernist or a post-modernist, a vegan or a cannibal, truth remains eternal, despite the many injunctions we have brought against it. Truth is in respect to the many deep questions we ask, which we see in the world today, they corroborate with the deep internal radar we call conscience. We cannot use science against the moral questions of humanity, but rather I believe it supplements the issue, as the ongoing need for not just preservation but elevation of mind, from ignorance to true knowledge, being needed. But knowledge of the truth correlates to knowledge of reality, for he who has not knowledge of the truth will have a foggy and murky view of reality. If men have indeed been called a “fallen creature” then why not consider it to be a truth, as it can be evidently seen, like an ongoing experiment in the social jungle around us. Man’s badness relates to man’s strange desire for something better, despite the social Darwinist’s protestations that the professor makes...

“man is this thing? Who just happens upon this other thing, who happened to come into being one day, but was exterminated another day and really life is just about extinctions in the space of great lengths of time and nothing can really be known or learnt about life, because you see everything you learn makes no sense, and so I understand everything, despite really knowing nothing. But why do I have this preference and this perspective, Yet again I don’t know why, but I do hate that ancient primitive view of there being good and bad, of there being this god who watched me all the time, and made me go to Sunday school, who seemed to be the god of timetables and rule books,  I was told what to do in school, of where the teachers told me that I had to do my homework before Monday morning class commenced and my father really gave me a hard time and told me that if I drank behind the bike shed, that I would be expelled from the church, excommunicated from the school and abandoned by various religious uncles and cast unto the outer reaches of the universe and yes man is a really mean and unkind creature, which I am opposed to, but not why, since I have been conditioned to think so, but cannot agree upon anything being true, other than the meaningless bouncing of atoms in a wide open space in time!”

However the war on objective truth is not just upon metaphysics but concerns the entire spectrum of conservative, traditional and even scientific fact (for instance the changing stance on gender and sexuality and the moral issues of humanity) which represents rather the bent and sway of ideology rather than scientific fact, against proven results and consequences, which are ignored by the supposedly omniscient and omnipotent media, who promote the lies. I can only relate this contagion of untruth to the media manipulation used by the worst dictators of the previous centuries. However the time has come and is really coming when one can call night, day and day night and state blue to be green and green to be blue and murder to be, justifiable and free speech to be a dogmatic crime or taboo. To be honest human power when used wrongly, by the wrong hearts and minds, corrupts absolutely, but also these days tries to destroy the truth in the process. These changes are what Frederich Nietzsche, the German nihilist philosopher predicted where he stated that he wanted a “transvaluation” or re-evaluation of the Christian value system and where he wanted the roots of Christianity to be removed in all traces from society. Of course in time the relativistic and pluralistic society we saw grew in time, and its cannibalising of society and institution only served to bring the house and stage, the mountain atop of man, with the great robustness of Christian society down to a squabbling race of bureaucrats, social deconstructionists, media men and agenda pushers.

Truth concerns the spiritual reality of a spiritual being, whose personality is reflected in the physical being called Jesus Christ, this truth shines into the material world we live in and is seen in the matters of conscience, observed in the forms of excellence in material life which we have beholden, but only understood when such was rightly revealed in proper context, from proper source and understood in proportion to God, measure by measure, the conundrums of reality, that make sense through a revelation. To understand the personality and character of God, is to understand the eternal nature of what is good, complete, perfect in time, essence and morally sacrosanct in the face of untruths. If men choose one idea over another what makes him think such is so and that it is a universal truth, let him examine his own belief system and weigh it up in time and that too is why I believe in God, because I believe it all to be true, this has been a journey, and this has been a rough road to walk, but why walk it, because it is worth it, because it is true. I believe to be so.

Even in difficult times, a man can write, a man can live, men will speak the truth and be punished as they were in the days before our comfortable democracies. Telling the truth has once again come with a prison sentence. These chilling times, come with a passive hatred, a chilly wasteland contains the anger beneath the layers of media based propaganda, hoping once again to rise from the layers of their insincerity.

It is easy to adopt a fashion or a fad, it is easy when a man believes in nothing, because he risks nothing, his reputation can be an insincere facade. However, what is true, is worth defending against the critics for all that is good and sacred, at all times, testing its validity and quality. Step out and risk your reputation and legacy, what have men to do or say? The world of men is so easily damnable and flawed that it is obvious. Who can take man seriously? It is easy to jump into the path of the moving tide and not to go against the aggressive waves of violent atavistic mob rule.
