An Inconvenient Faith by Timothy Scheiter

It may be a good time for all of us to get a grip on the basic concepts of truth and faith. It seems to me that if there are contradicting facts of equal weight on more than one side of an issue, we are not necessarily dealing with "the truth". Taking a strong stance on one side of an issue is an act of faith, not truth, in a viewpoint.

Yet, the likes of Al Gore, the Clintons, and other democrats have recently shown that by promoting a one-sided issue and lying about it a lot, will establish the point certainly as “truth”. And it turns out that this old idea still works, especially to a newer dumbed-down generation. This isn’t truth, of course, but “faith” that is devoid of hope. Without a balanced approach, an issue like “global warming”, for example, becomes suspect as an agenda point. For Gore to get a “peace prize” for promoting a political viewpoint seems silly, (yet remember Nobel was the inventor of dynamite and Carter and Arafat got Nobel’s award also).
