Is Truth True?

We often hear in our culture that there is no such thing as truth.  Something may be true for you, but not for me.  The next time someone says to you that all truth is relative and no absolute truth exists, just ask them, "Is it true that there is no absolute truth?"

I hope you can see that this simple question points out the obvious: the statement, "There is no truth," is itself making a truth claim.  You can't avoid truth.  It's like playing Whack-a-Mole.  If you pound it down over here, it pops up somewhere else.
