The point is that just as Zhavric stated that "Nothing is absolute" is contradictory, so is the statement "Truth is absolute".

In ever discussion about truth you will have people, like Zhavric, who claim that there is only one truth for anything and that believing truth is relative is post-modernism.

You will also have people, like me, who claim that in matters of fact you don't need to worry about calling something "true" or not because the facts settle it. Any time you cannot present some sort of objective material support you are no longer dealing with fact, but opinion.

With opinions, even contradictory opinions are true.
