Larry,

Is the truth any less true just because someone chooses not to believe it?


A truth that needs "believing in" is not a truth. Read that definition
again!

I would agree that the truth does not need belief in order to be true. No problem.
But when a statement is made, whether it be truth or not, there is a choice - believe,
or do not believe. A choice not to believe a statement of truth does not make it
any less true.
