The "truth" we speak of here is a spiritual one. And although your argument has great merit in the fact that there is "one truth" the truth is you don't know any more than I do what it actually is. You may claim to know, because of the religion or belief system that you follow, "the truth". In actuality, truth is relative and situational. Something you might consider true many others may reject outright. This does not make your perception of the truth false, it only creates a parallel of your truth. What is true and false in logic is not true or false in the realm of theology or sociology. Different cultures have different truths or beliefs. I am in no way deriding or belittling your truths, so why do find it necessary to question mine?

This is nonsense even looked at on the level that truth could be known by accident.

I question your understanding of truth because there is no foundation to it. I grant you that cultures have different beliefs and traditions, but that does not touch the fact that Truth is universal. Truth, by definition, in unchanging.
You go on about Truth being situational and parallel truths... what does that mean? Either I'm right, or they're right. There is no middle ground, we can't both be right if our 'Truth's are polar opposites!
And of course, logic coincides with theology, I don't know how sociology fits in there. If faith and reason don't fit together, your one of them is wrong.
I question you not to demean you, but only because your point of view is so completely twisted by relativism, I wonder if you realize the danger in this.
