Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Chance" data-source="post: 1314960" data-attributes="member: 2795">So what if no two people agree 100% of the time about what is right and what is wrong? Unanimous assent is not an absolutely reliable guide to what is true and what is false. Neither is unanimous disagreement a reliable indicator that there is no such thing as moral truth at all or that it is impossible to at least get some of the answers right some of the time.What's more, it is very doubtful anyone knows 100% of everything there is to know about any thing. Does it therefore follow that there is no such thing as knowledge at all? Of course not. Imperfect knowledge of a subject (such as the objective truth of a moral principle) is still knowledge. It is still more than ignorance, even if it is less than full comprehension.Furthermore (and this is a point I cannot elaborate on without violating ENWorld's rules), it may also be the case that, as you hypothesize, that some one person did get all the rules straight. It may also be the case that there is one being who is actually the one source of all that is true, the ground of all reality. If such a person and/or being exists, then his or her teachings would be 100% reliable, at least insofar as that person and/or being chose to teach about any particular question.No one with any sense in his head can ever stop wondering about these questions or stop seeking the real answers to them. A life unexamined, and all that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
