It was not meant as a Burn....They really are quite fun.

No single person can answer, with any accuracy, just what "Truth" is.
As for a foundation, I honestly think that personal perception is the starting point. Truth is based almost exclusively on ones ability for critical thinking and is thus directed by it. The Colour blind example is one of my favorites. As follows:

Johnny is colour blind, Due to differences in the shape of light receptors in his eyes he actually sees red as green.
Jill was born without the misshaped receptors, and thus sees red as would the majority of th population. To Johnny, there is a red colour, yet it is not the same one that Jill knows is the "true" colour red.

The point is that many observations are interpreted in the way we are all willing, or able to experience them. But that will only be the truth we create, in light of our personal perception of the data.

As for the "God" debate.....sorry I have to pass. Been there, Done that so often it no longer gives me pleasure to discuss it.
But, I will give you Kudos for your take on this issue.
