Their website.

http://www.truthcontest.com/

It's not a specific religion. It's just an amalgamation of vaguely-eastern vaguely-religious deepities that uses buzzwords as every other word their sentences that combine to say absolutely nothing at all. Don't waste your braincells on this crap. Check the 'comments' page if you want some scoffs. It's all praise for finding 'the truth' without ever describing exactly what that truth is.

No, the answer is the largest prime number.  In other words, we don't know.   Tongue

From one of their "insights" on drugs...

Quote:The Bible says, “Be vigilant and be sober, because your adversary is like a lion.” It also says, "Be drunk not on wine, but be filled with the spirit."

Quote:The truth drug: It is the same reason spiritual beings like to be alone. They do not need or want anything other than God/life. Other people can just bring you down, unless they live in the truth and the life also. If they do, they make the present even better. The difference is that God/life does not cost any money, makes you feel even better than drugs, and never makes you sick.

Quote:The Bible says, therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober.

There is now a better way to get into the present. It is free and lasts forever.

Just remember that Jesus did not do recreational drugs.

Seems like a cheap ploy to sneak bullshit in the back door.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

This cooking manual says, "Clean inside regularly". We need to cleanse our souls, to expel all that dark energy and allow our inner spirits to be correctly aligned with the philosophical innate divine truth of joyous righteous spirits.

Wait, I already said spirits. Erm, joyous righteous wonderment.

Thank you drive through.
