The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
RE: The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
Yeah, you're strongly reminding me of my Mother right now.  She would practically scream herself into a stroke when anything on TV or the radio disagreed with her worldview.  I'll never forget when I made the mistake of asking her about a contradiction in the Bible. (whew) "There is only one TRUTH and only one GOD, and only one BIBLE!!"  Anything that disagrees with the Bible is from Satan!  If you think your stupid little brain has found something wrong with GOD's WORD, the problem is that you haven't prayed enough!"  You should have seen her when she found an article on dinosaurs in a kid's magazine.  Wowza. 

Only ONE TRUTH - hers.  HER god. Anyone who could not see the truth of her god was dishonest, evil, stupid, and possibly possessed by demons.  And they deserved to burn in hell for eternity.

I learned that the people that scream about dishonesty in others (unless it's about somebody like Trump) are only protecting their own self delusion.

I absolutely refuse to give any religious book, any "inspirational story", or any priest, imam, or preacher any credence or respect. I will not accept claims without evidence.  This is simply being honest.
