The Bible On Trial

Fact-Checkers~

If you have been on Face Book at any time in the past year of so you have seen a phenomena that has taken that platform by storm - the fact-checker.

These people are hired by Face Book to rebute the comments of people that are so obviously uninformed about reality that they need 'guidance' as to what is real and what is fantasy. Anything that disagrees with the political, social or scientific perspective of the 'editors' of Face Book get 'corrected' (re: censored) by their staff of 'experts', so that their reader will be put back on the correct tract to being properly informed.

These 'fact-checkers' are doing the same things that desperate high school students do when they have a writing assignment due the next day and haven't started the project; they pick a topic, and invent 'facts' that support their own personal ideas as to the truth of the subject, then they go to a 'credible' source such as Wikipedia and find an article by some unknown writer that supports their belief, and cite that article as proof. These students don't have time to fully research the assigned topic, so they invent the proof the support the theory.

True research takes time and effort, none of which these fact-checkers have time to do properly. 

A great man once said, "Facts don't care about your emotions!" How you feel about a subject has no bearing on the truth of the matter. Yet as we have seen the idea that 'facts don't lie' is itself a lie. Of course facts can lie, as long as you pick only those 'facts' that support your position.

The Truth of God and how They work in this world is not based on emotional content, it is based upon the Words that God sent to earth with His own Son, and gave to humanity through His servants the prophets, and His own eyewitness disciples. This IS Truth!
