Most people construe the term "absolute truth" as necessarily coming from the mind of God, thus atheists reject absolute truth. Philosophy leaves religion out of it and says that analytical truth can be verified on the basis of its meaning.

Because Quine had such a hard time understanding that bachelors are unmarried in his "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" I have adapted the definition of analytical truth so that it can be more directly divided from other forms of truth:
 It is a sin to say anything untrue about other people.
 
(1) Expressions of language that are defined to be true and
 Truth is not a matter of definition.
 
(2) Expressions of language that have been derived on the basis of applying truth preserving operations.
 Only affirmative sentences and only if derived from true sentences.
 Note that the word "sentence" has different meanings in comp.thery
and sci.lang. In the former (and in sci.logic) it usually excludes
all but affirmative sentences.
 
I am redefining analytical truth such that it is entirely
comprised of expressions that are stipulated to be true
Facts, and expressions that are a necessary consequence of
these Facts.
