Discussion with who? The cannot be multiple definitions of Truth. oxymoron Thank you.. -mapsurfer
This article was split from the main article Truth after discussion. [1] History before 03:22, 8 July 2007(UTC) can be found there. Banno 03:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I have simply copied the content of Truth#Religious views to here, leaving a copy of the first paragraph on the old site as a lead-in to this article. More work need sot be done to synchronise the two articles. Banno 03:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I've attempted to make the article Truth reflect the material here, albeit briefly. More work needs to be done. Rick Norwood 14:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Has any other religious figure from ANY religion claimed to actually BE "the Truth," besides Jesus of Nazareth? If so, whom? By "religious figure," I mean a human, and not a god/goddess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.252.56 ( talk) 07:58, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
The opening section states, "Each religion sees itself as the only path to truth." with no citation.
This statement should be deleted or re-written, unless we can show evidence that all religious traditions make this claim. As it stands, this article has no representation from North America, South America, Africa, Australia or Oceania. It is even missing Taoism. Most obvious to me is the Religious syncretism from Japan where Japanese authors often proudly state that Japan officially recognizes that their society has a long tradition of embracing both Buddhism and Shintoism, two religious views that share different aspects of truth.
The religions listed in this article all happen to be religious institutions that have had state sponsorship that allowed them to grow past their original national borders. If that is to be a limiting factor for this Wikipedia article, perhaps the title of the page should reflect that to the effect of something like: Views on truth from the point of view of state sponsored religious institutions. Otherwise, I would like to see more representation from
Hawaiian religion,
Dogon religion,
Hopi mythology,
Religion in the Inca Empire, etc.
In various degrees even the institutional religions listen on this page, such as Christianity, have histories of religious syncretism. Christianity is influenced by Judaism in its founding mythology, the Isis-Horus-Osiris mythology for its holy trinity and resurrection mythology, Stoicism for its monastery conventions, and other Greek and Roman ideas of underworld mythology. In other words, Christianity is a collection of "truths."
