Of course the things that are good AND true that are most important!
But I put truth above all unless I'm in an extremely desperate situation where I really need false comfort I guess. But I can't think of any examples right now.
Truth is above all for me.
Love that isn't really true but is faking love when its actually hate. I think is worse than 'true' hate as in hate that is honest about itself so you can contend with it rather than it disguising itself as love and then stabbing you in the back.

I'm sure no one would disagree with you but how does that tie in with hoping there is a God etc? If there isn't, then when I die it won't matter that I 'hoped' there was. I aint gonna know.
