The Mutability Of Truth

Though the atmosphere of this forum is still largely one of believers versus nonbelievers, there is a trend among the more prominent theists here that has popped up several times in the recent past; rather than defend the truthfulness of religious convictions, they defend religion's subjectivity as valuable in itself (if not indistinguishable from objectivity.) I'll be the first one to say that religion is a cultural adhesive for many billions of people, and is probably an artifact that will always exist, but if one consciously acknowledges its subjectivity, the foundations of faith crumble to dust. Saying that "just because religion is in our heads doesn't matter" is nonsensical when looked at closely.
