My Truth, Your Truth, Whose Truth?

"My truth is that I am a gay American," said James E. McGreevey, the married father of two when he resigned as governor of New Jersey. Notice that he didn't say "the truth is..." In the culture war, the Left take every opportunity to undermine absolute truth, denying that there is some standard outside of ourselves. To the Left, truth is relative, a private matter, optional to all. Our experience does not support that assertion. There is an objective reality outside of oneself, which does not depend on one's personal beliefs. You will fall off a 10-storey building if you jump off whether you believe in Newton's Law of Gravity or not. The same is true in the moral universe. The effects may not be as immediate as the Law of Gravity, but there are most certainly adverse personal and social consequences for violating absolute moral laws, whether you believe in those laws or not.
