Pontius Pilate infamously asked “what is truth?” This is the same question being asked now. Actually no. The left isn’t asking anymore. They are now enforcing a truth-less universe.
“There is no truth” is their first commandment. Or maybe the one right after, “We get to kill unborn babies” which also seems pretty important to them.
Here, conservative activist Matt Walsh is talking to some weird blue haired intellectual about “What is a Woman?” It’s fun to point and laugh at the seemingly silly asides this woman is making that have nothing to do with the very pointed questions Matt Walsh is asking. I point and laugh all the time. If someone falls on ice I’m the first to point and laugh, unless they’re like 80 years old and then I don’t because that would be cruel. But if you’re under 80, the high pitched snickering you hear when you fall is probably mine.
But here, there is no misunderstanding. They’re literally speaking different languages. There’s no chance of reaching truth because one side doesn’t value truth. By that, I don’t mean to say she’s lying. She just doesn’t even believe in truth or she believes is so many truths that just waters the definition down to nothingness.
The only truism for leftists is that there is no truth. That is the truth that must be enforced. Viciously if necessary by cancellation, fine, or imprisonment.
The great irony of Pilate is that he asks that question but isn’t looking for an answer but standing before him was Jesus, who literally is the Truth.
This is why they don’t want you to see #WhatIsAWoman. It’s because of moments like this. Gender ideology is an insane, incoherent mess. pic.twitter.com/p5m2RIbKff

The left knows its worldview is incompatible with Christianity. That is why they have very clearly made it their focus to eradicate Christianity from the public sphere. It’s Christians who are seeking a middle ground, some way of accomodating the woke world view with Christianity. There isn’t one. There is only submission or standing up for truth. That’s it.
Pray for the courage to stand.

Pilate asked “What is truth?” and an innocent man died. A culture repeats the question with a shrug, and thousands die.

Great point.

“There is no truth”
Really? Is that the truth? Absolutely?

If there is no truth then they are lying. So if they are lying then there IS truth.

Wait. I’m confused again.

There was a college professor in the documentary that said truth is offensive. Yes, to those who don’t believe in truth, it is offensive.

Imagine spending thousands to send your child to be educated by someone who doesn’t believe in truth.

This is why all ancient laws had some sort of death penalty for atheists. Because society doesn’t function with those who deny truth even exists. Pilate, btw, in my estimation meant “what is the truth (that you say you came to bear witness to)?” I think he wanted an explanation of what truth Jesus was claiming he came to reveal, not that he was snarkily denying truth exists. But its more dramatic to interpret it that way which is why its the popular interpretation. Also Prots reject the Acts of Pilate where he converts so the snarly “what is truth?” rather than “what is the truth?” fits better for them. And I am a Prot but I still see that.

λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος· Τί ἐστιν ἀλήθεια;
I could be wrong though because there is no definite article in his question. But inclusion or non inclusion of definite articles in Greek seems to not prove anything to me. Their language is very different in that regard. And Latin leaves them off 100%.
