“Let us make this clear, Christ never defended half truths, Christ was the truth, he unlike us did not justify any sin, because truth cannot justify that which kills the human race – sin. Christ did not state things from his emotions at the moment to comfort someone feelings, no, he told the truth even at the hardest times because he loved the righteousness of God more than himself. Christ did not tell people what they wanted to hear because of political correctness or being woke!”

Facts: Recently some Stanford University researchers, Sam Wineburg and Sarah McGrew, reported that students at all levels have difficulty assessing the reliability of information that they find on the internet. This really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Websites from unreliable organizations aren’t going to promote that they are unreliable. Those websites are going to look reliable and trustworthy. People can’t tell which websites are reliable and which information is true.
Fake news has also been in the news recently. There is a lot of fake news, often promoted by well-known people. One of these stories concerned a possible case of child trafficking in a pizza shop in Washington, DC that was supposedly linked to the Clintons. This was fake news. But all sorts of people, even some associated with the Trump campaign and transition, shared and promoted the news. It was never hard to find the truth about this case. But people chose to believe and spread lies. This led someone to attack the pizza shop with a gun to try and free the children.
So yes, the truth matters. It matters for personal relationships, for science, and for public policy. Facts by Ira Hyman Ph.D.
