    What is truth? When you are done diddling yourself give my questions a shot.
    Does truth require believing in gods?
    You're the OP. Burden is on you. What, did you ask a question you don't know the answer to?

    Faith in something. Faith in God. Faith in the State. Faith in Progress. Faith in science.....

    I laughed.

    I have given truth a great deal of thought (okay, full disclosure, I am 1/3rd through a course).

    I don't know what truth means. I believe a thing is true if it corresponds to that which is real. Note: Gods are not required.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    You are so easily distracted.

    I did. In my opinion no one knows the answer. Isn't that interesting?

    Do truths exist?

    Things are true if they correspond to that which is real.

    But what is truth? Is it a thing?

    Truth without God. So you say a child cannot tell the truth.

    Has any serious school of thought claimed that truths do not exist?

    The only thing that could be described as truth is 'what is'. What is is all that exists.
