It is truth. I, personally, hold truth in the highest regard. I'm not fond of religion, but I'm not on a crusade to convert believers. Some people need the delusion and the lies. They would crumble without it. My experience, which has been difficult, to say the least, has forced me to accept truth. If I delude myself, it only leads to my doom. I know that sounds dramatic, but for me it simply is. Wisdom comes from truth. There are nuggets of wisdom in every religion. Off the top of my head, the Golden Rule comes to mind. But there isn't much truth to religion. Truth is harsh and not often kind, but there is a freedom in accepting the truth. That freedom transcends everything.
