"facts" would be more along the lines of telling people that, based upon our current understanding of physics, and based on various pictures and claims of spirit, it's extremely unlikely that those pictures could possibly be real.
Now THAT would be truthful.
But proclaiming that any possible concept of a spiritual essence to reality has been flatly ruled-out. Is simply a lie.
It's just an outright lie. Period.
That's nice, except I never said that.

I firmly hold that to be an absolute truth.
Then you're ignorant.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
