“Precisely because we have many reflections of light,it proves that light exists.” This is a good point. Because so many people seek the truth, through religion or spirituality, that suggests that there is some sort of God. I agree with this. I certainly don’t think that there is no truth, since obviously human beings are hard-wired to search for truth. Far from there being no truth, it is the search for this truth that drives much of life.

Going back to your analogy of light, does a forest exist because I see it, or would it exist even if there were no eye in the world to see it? I think this is the philosophical problem I have with Absolute Truth. We can say the forest exists only because its existence is witnessed by enough people, and even then their perception of the forest is different – each would have experienced the forest a different way. Therefore to understand what a forest is really like, it is not enough to talk to just one person, even if this person were the tallest and smartest one. To try to define what is a forest by saying that only some people’s opinions of the forest are accepted and not others’ is to me denying aspects of what the forest is. And to know what a forest is, it is better to visit it myself instead of merely listening to what others say about it because my experience is unique to me, and no one can tell me how I will personally experience the forest. I understand truth in the same way.

You are right. That is my opinion, and not an absolute truth. And obviously I could be wrong. That’s why what I wrote in its full context was “There is no such thing as an Absolute Truth. And by the way, that’s merely my truth. Your truth may be different.”

I know this is a can of worms for Christians. I am one myself and struggled with it for a long time, and am still learning of course.
