There's nothing to refute; perhaps you misunderstood. That statement does answer my original question: what makes you pursue truth? Thank you. For you, your decision seems to be arbitrary. In other words, for you, truth is not something that ought to be pursued, you just pursue it because. As I said to the other person who came to the same conclusion, I'll accept arbitrariness as an explanation.
What the post was originally about was a deeper value of truth. Atheistic philosophers such as Bertrand Russell seem to pursue it for its own sake, and most atheists I've experienced hold "not being duped" as their motivation, not arbitrary "truthism." The original question was why "not being duped" is important.
