Why? Why do you as a biological creature, care about whether or not your hold true or false beliefs?
Quote:"Have no greater joy than these things, that I should hear of my children walking in the truth."That's because you're dense, lol.
For me truth and meaning an intrinsic link, Truth is the ultimate source of meaning, and fulfillment, it's to know God. I want my children to know the truth, so that can live a meaningful life. Life has an intrinsic meaning and purpose, and my children knowing what the is, is knowing the truth.
So it might make sense to me why people like myself prioritize truth as the highest goal.
It's a bid odd to me when atheists treat truth the same way, as an end itself to be sought. Particularly when truth is just a series of scientific truths about reality, descriptions about reality itself.
