The Truth And Proof Cannot Be Refuted
Because "ye shall know the truth, and the truth, shall set you free".

Most definitions of "truth" and "proof" would support that they cannot be refuted. The problem, of course, is too often the things we label as "truth" or "proof" fail to live up to the test, and that isn't a negation of those concepts - it's a revelation of our own human failings to meet the standards.

And I do like ur_wrong's point that if you're guilty of a crime then stating the truth surely won't set you free.

True as a concept, but when actuality subverts or perverts Justice (truth), then the truism becomes false by default. Sadly.

To understand the full truth of even the most inconsequence is more than a man may achieve or bear.

The truth doesn't set you free if you're guilty. Then its lies and loopholes and underhanded lawyers (also known as "lawyers") that set you free.

Truth and proof can always be refuted, it is all the time.
Especially when the path may lead into religion and crosses science.

It's that the truth can be refuted, but it is still there.

 I could refute what Genkaku just said but I would be a fool to do so.
