Or to put it another way, 'lots of things are not truth'.

IHMO, we can't have truth. We can only make agreements between each other and ourselves about what is satisfactory *for ourselves*. For example, what is satisfying for the majority of scientists may not be satisfactory for everyone, (or you!)

Sounds almost like I'm talking about sex now!

What I am interested in very much is just what does satisfy you, Impenitent; What is true for you? God? Reason? Biology? *anything*?!

Also, what are you impenitent of - any terrible sins we should know of?
