Post-Truth

Heard of the catch phrase Post-truth?

It could mean persecution against the church.

The idea goes that truth is not removed, but PLACED SECOND to what it makes a person feel like when they experience it.

The false notion says that if something you say about a person is TRUE, but it makes them feel demeaned, then you are speaking hate.

This is why the gay lifestyle is spoken against and such positions against it are considered hate speech. In other words, truth is determined by what our feelings say.

Be aware of this.
After much discussion, debate, and research, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016 is post-truth – an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief’.

Post-truth in 2016

Post-truth has gone from being a peripheral term to being a mainstay in political commentary, now often being used by major publications without the need for clarification or definition in their headlines.

Re: Post-Truth

This could be the basis for changing laws and opinions of what is considered hateful, as it already has done to a degree.

Truth takes a backseat to someone's feelings.

.It will make people call good "evil" (those who teach GOOD truth are considered doing EVIL because the truth hurts the sinful and upsets them), and call Evil "good" (sinful people whose feelings are not hurt by speaking truth to them call it it GOOD to not speak truth to them).
