This makes Truth subjective. TRUTH, ~real Truth~ can not be subjective.
Idi Amin was a cannibal, he thought it beautiful, to eat his victims...
That certainly was not "truth", in World societal views, but within ~his society~ It was OK, Subjective.
Luther, and Calvin, other great thinkers, could see dichotomy in what was then considered "the Church", ~a society~ They were ousted from that, whist providing the usual "you can't fire me, I quit".
They had followers. Developed another society. A different "church" from the other "church" meanwhile, real believers knew, ~the Church~ and were persecuted already...
Giving us another society...I say: Truth, is not subjective.
It is something that has been defined, not by philosophers, small or great, but by God Himself, and when we choose to live ~Within~ it, we "Know the Truth, and it sets us free"

It's still subject to your perspective. Someone born of the Hindu faith might insist the same for his theology, or a Mahayana Buddhist might insist on the Buddha, or a Muslim on the Prophet Muhammad, or Zoroastrians on Ahuramazda. Aside from your perspective...
There's nothing definite. Even physics has proven somewhat more flexible than we anticipated so many years ago.
