Religions were primarily created to stop mass suicides more than anything else. When one person jumps off a cliff in grief for a lost loved one often many people would then follow them in a family or friend chain reaction of suicides down through history. So, religion is a way to stop people from committing suicide more than anything else. So, religions are NOT there to answer the most important questions in life but instead to give you fairy tales like watching Disney movies where everything turns out okay in the end or something like that.
So, if you want truth that isn't what you get from religion. From religion comes comfort like a sturdy old Grandmother or Grandfather to comfort you when you skin your knee as a child.
But, if you actually want real truth you have to look to philosophic enquiry which is the basis of all the sciences from actually asking real questions.
Just remember if you want truth you have to be very brave to receive the truth wherever it takes you.
The Truth often is NOT comforting like an old Grandmother or Grandfather putting a bandaid on your skinned knee at all.
In fact, the truth might make you want to commit suicide sometimes in itself.
So, be very careful of the truth because:
"Without enough truth the people perish."
"But, with too much truth the people might also all kill themselves"
This is just the way things really are in life.
Truth always cuts both ways, both for good and for death.
So, always be careful of the truths you share with others because it might be their last truth if they are not ready for it.
By God's Grace
