| Consider that there is an absolute Truth. Is this Truth sentient? Does it want to reveal itself to people? If so, why would it bury small grains of itself within a large mass of distraction and fiction? Why wouldn't it just tell someone? Or maybe most faiths are like a well crafted lie woven around the kernel of Truth that makes it all the more believable. But that would imply that the Truth had been revealed in a more complete form at some time, for it to be able to spawn these derivatives. So are some faiths more derivative than others? Do some have more Truth than others? Logic would seem to lead to that conclusion. After all, this Truth would want to perpetuate itself, hopefully mostly intact. And some witnesses are better than others. So that just leads back to my premise: you can't give them both a B-.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
