Perhaps you would agree when I said that truth can also refer to the ideal or spiritual realm, that is, it does not have to refer to the real or material realm alone.
A man needs a god because he is grateful for his existence. That is the first property of pagan gods. That man is grateful to them.
A hierarchy of gratitudes makes almost for a pantheon.*
Somehow, gods also actually exist and do stuff.
Whether we can judge this stuff as good or evil, it depends on what we believe about ourselves.
The origin of things is a logic, or what we apprehend as a logic; it is the coupling of possibility and necessity, which produces a system in which we apprehend ourselves. This whole deal has been called “I am that I am” but not God; God in that system (Hebrew) comes 3 steps lower on the ladder of the necessities following the fulfillment of possibility.
Beyond this “I am that I am” (not what I am, merely that I am) is a series of negations which together amount to a possible refutation of negation. It’s merely a way of showing that for there to be nothing at all is very hard, logically speaking.
*why there is no devil in pagan pantheons; instead there are other peoples gratitudes- people with different gods, things theyre grateful for which might contradict our own. Like Ecmandu always talks about. That is real, and he should find his own pagan gods and be done with the misery. He’s right, so was I once and suffering equally, but I realized finally that such understanding is not truthful to nature. Nature contradicts herself in being fully apprehended - she likes to hide, that is why the Requirement of the Eternal Recurrence of the Same is an error - it is an injustice to nature. Affirming it here and there might be seen as a pinch in the but-tocs and result in good vitality. But as a logos it will destroy the soul.
Assuming there is only one truth, interesting. Truth is an applied principle, truth can be applied to the concept of one plus one equals two but is this small summation “THE TRUTH”?
I think when people say that there is “only one truth” they mean to say that there is only one reality. Truth is the description of reality (the words or statements describing it). And unless they are referring to a title of a book or movie when they capitalize like that I think they are referring to the perfect or absolute all-encompassing truth instead of any one particular truth.
I do not understand the question

It is the same question you asked.

I do not word things that way, usually, and I do not recall doing so.
Get the quote to refresh my memory.
That or tell me what you think is my real situation is, again, so that I can see what you are talking about.
The Mormons believe that all good things come from God.
To them, God the father is a huge power-source of infinite energy.
He uses it to bless our lives and create manifestations.
The earth was meant to contain much good.
If God can be seen as the force behind the creative evolution of all living beings and as the reclaimer into Itself of all It created , then God is good. The conservation of energy is the handiwork of a good God. But remember, God is a force, not a person. We crave the personal and so name forces that affect us. Those forces that affect us adversely we call evil. Those forces that affect us positively we call good. Both forces appear to be necessary in the creation and maintenance of worlds. But no souls are ever lost to evil.
Statistically speaking, the world has never been so blessed with such a small amount of evil as compared to the huge amount of good that statistics say we are enjoying.
This is in spite of the vile mainstream homophobic and misogynous religions preaching against the law of the land.
