Jesus said, �To this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, to bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate then said unto him, What is truth?� (John 18:37-38) Pilate�s response is a fascinating one. �What is truth?�, he says, but he does not voice the question as a genuine query � it is a rhetorical question, a statement describing reality as Pilate observes it � there is no truth, there are only constructed ideologies and practical necessities and people act based upon these and function within the social/economic/political realms generated by these constructs. Right and wrong, truth and justice exist only within the relativistic confines and context of these constructs. |
