Truth Will Prevail

A truth undergirding the call for freedom of speech is that truth is shown to be truth when it is arrayed against error or untruth. When one idea feels it has to shout down another so that it cannot be heard, it is admitting its view cannot stand the light of truth.

Charles Krauthammer, a favorite writer of mine, now deceased, said, “I believe the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking.” Long ago, a call went out to opposing ideas, saying, “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord” (Isaiah 1:18).
