We know that the morals and personal beliefs we live by, despite how deeply and strongly we believe in them, are shaped by our experiences. This is clearly evident by the vast diversity of human beliefs. Now if we believe that there is an absolute truth, one that exists independent of our experiences, we must ask these questions:
1. How do we justify claiming our personal beliefs as absolute truths and the rest of the world's personal beliefs as illusions?
2. Is it really important that our personal beliefs closely resemble the absolute truth?
3. If so, how do we go about replacing our personal beliefs with absolute truth?
I am willing to admit that I don't know any of the answers.
