“I would agree that humor finds its basis in truth, but I’m concerned with your assertion that there is only one truth. Neither worldview has a monopoly on truth, and September 11th does not boil the complexity of reality into black and white. To say so is to try and monopolize your version of truth without any real evidence to support it.”
You seem to be mixing up worldview with truth; they’re actually much different.
Truth is a yes/no proposition. (Will you burn your hand if you put it on a hot stove? Yes/No) Worldview is whatever you want it to be.
Any given situation has only one objective ‘truth’. It’s not always easy to see what that truth is, though. Stoves are easy, people are difficult.
Too many people think that their worldview MUST be the truth just because it’s theirs. Doesn’t make it true but it sure can make things harder for anyone around them who’s not a ‘believer’.
