When one claims a "truth" that is not true it can easily be interchanged with another claim with the only observable difference being personal preference. With how attached we get to our preferences some times it may seem more fundamental of a difference. The emotions and passion that are part of our preferences make these differences seem larger than actual outcomes. The real truth claim in this case is me vs. you.

Truth Is Worth Seeking
Truth makes a difference. There are many philosophies that are meaningless, and futile. Truth is not. Agnostism for example is not worth pursuing. If we don't know if we can know anything, than why would we try? Why would we even bother to state that we don't know if there is any certain knowledge? Or what about Deism? What good is it to theorize that there is a god, or higher power, but that they are now uninvolved? One might as well be hedonistic if that is the case, or agnostic for that mater.
