Welcome to Trinity of Truth

Trinity of Truth promotes a postsecular political framework through this blog and on http://www.secularfaith.com/

The Trinity represents three forms of knowledge - reason, religion and personal experiences.

The Trinity advocates that every citizen become a philosopher king by reconciling the differences between religious and rational morality against his/her own personal experiences.

When everyone's subjective truth can be rationally reconciled into one concept of human nature, we will have found objective truth; and a universal morality.

This process is called secularization and it is threatened by dogmatic atheists, dictators and monotheists.

Don't Take your Constitution for Granted!

As soon as any man says of the affairs of the State
"What does it matter to me?" the State may be given up for lost.

Jean Jacques Rousseau - The Social Contract(1762)

To stop demanding more from our government is to squander our most precious inheritance - our political freedom. But to quote Rousseau again - to demand more than our freedom is to risk losing it:

"Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited."

Whether you are part of the majority or the minority - don't ask for more than your right to liberty. Demanding that others agree with you and sacrifice their freedom of conscience, is exceeding your rights.

This is what Rousseau meant by virtue, not reason and science, being the basis of morality.
