A persons argument at a particular time may not be a good one.
This is not to say that everything that comes from their mouth is bunk.
Likewise sometimes you will make a blunder
and your knowledge therefor may be permanently disregarded.
It is hard sometimes for a hearer to separate lies from the truth.
Our mind is a believe machine.
When we accept the truth as All That Comes From a Certain Source we have made that source and idol and in turn do not rely on ourselves to determine anything.

We can be wolves.
We can be sheep.
It is better to be the one
who puts our feet
on the tail
and pulls their clothing
off like sheets.

A seeker of the truth must have a filter on the truths that are presented to them.
What is the truth anyway?
Truth for what?
What is the opposite of the truth? What is an untruth? Can something untrue also be true in certain circumstances?
Why are we so driven for the truth anyway?
How does the truth enhance us?
By accepting the truth what are we denying?
We want to know the purpose of our existence. In this we want to know how we are unique and what we have to offer the world. We want to acknowledge and be in our niche, or our multitude of niches (being that we have variant lives). In this way we are fulfilling our truth indeed. There are many truths and this is what makes the world go round.
We are meant to be where we are and we are meant to be in the places we have been. We were meant to hear what we have heard and process those things with the mind that God has given us. (I could say the mind that you have, I come from the standpoint of believing in God, and that is why I talk this way.)
The pursuit therefor for "truth" is never-ending and will test you. Battling with or mocking those you disagree with us is ineffectual. Those who carry degrading attitudes are stuck in thier own minds and are convinced of their own superiority most of the time. The deliverance of our persuasions and the openness of our minds will aid in the communication of our perceived truths. The attitudes and advancements of the people we come in contact with and choose to spend our time with are also key. We are both teachers and learners, constantly.
In the variance of truth there is confusion so be sure to stick to, know and be clear about the reasons of your core and basic truths... Those are the things listed in all of the scriptures, in all of the world who have ever received the "truth". These are the things that your heart is sure of: Love.

Let's help bridge the gap between the extremes of total idiocracy while increasing the scope of our own vision.
Kill Hate. Just say NO to (your own) superiority complexes.
Non-ambiguity and non-contradiction are one sided and thus unsuited to express the incomprehensible. -Jung
