Is truth really the truth

Answer 1

Islam is. It is the most pure religion in the world. The Muslim book the Quaran tells most of the truth about the world and about real life. The holy book of the Muslims hasn't been touched or rewritten from someone else's point of view.

• Answer: All religions are based on old books of fiction. Islam has the same fictional characters such as Noah, Abraham, Jesus, and many others that are found within the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible. To prove that Noah is only a fictional character and to automatically prove that every religious book about Noah is only a fictional book then only two facts are needed:

  1. There would have been absolutely nothing left to eat for the thousands of poor starving carnivores after a universal flood because all of their prey would have been drowned and decayed for over a year. The same is true for the thousands of herbivores because all of the plants would have also drowned. Plus, any surviving seeds would have taken many months to grow into crops and any ark animals would have starved to death before the harvest.

  2. It is written in The Bible that the ark came to rest near the mountains of Ararat which could possibly be referring to Mount Ararat in Turkey. Yet, there is a huge problem with that conclusion and it is this: "Thousands of disembARKed animals would have resulted in the creation of very recognizable animal populations by thousands of different kinds of animals having more offspring in the surrounding areas. All of them would have multiplied and reproduced into local populations of their own kinds in that specific location. However, there are no surviving remnants, not one kind, of hundreds of foreign animals from other continents, not even their ancient remains, (no wild lemurs, grizzlies, kangaroos, penguins, or even wild turkeys, etc!) neither within nor surrounding the whole Mediterranean region, which covers thousands of land miles."

  Thousands of animals did not leave an ark and then simply vanish into thin air without a trace... Poof! In other words, all of Earth's many kinds of animals would have lived somewhere in the Middle East if they once exited an ark. Yet, there is no evidence that foreign populations of wild koalas, wild toucans, or wild armadillos, etc. have ever lived anywhere in the Middle East in the past or in the present. The only logical explanation is that the story of Noah's Ark is only a fictional story.

• The Bible's book of Genesis is entirely dependent on the credibility of the story of Noah's Ark to have any credibility of its own. The book of Exodus is entirely dependent on the credibility of Genesis to have any credibility of its own. The book of Leviticus also is entirely dependent on the credibility of Genesis to have any credibility of its own. So on and so forth, all the way through to the last book of Revelation. Therefore, since Noah's Ark is a fictional story then every single religious book like the Quran, which contains the character Noah, is only a fictional book.

  Religions mainly originated from generations of tribal members telling elaborate ancient oral traditions to each other while eating dinner around the camp fire. The stories were always constantly changing, with different ideas and details being used each time the story was told. Once the Sumerians invented the first written language along with the first organized religion those stories were later written into religious books, which are still being revised as new editions today. Humanism may be the only viable option we really have left since we are like one big family living together on this third rock from the sun. Even though I do not agree with them I still love my religious brothers and sisters who honestly believe that they're on the right path. Yet, I do hope that all brainwashed religious believers can keep their religious nonsense to themselves and not start any more trouble with it.

  It is a shame that religions are being allowed to promote their unsupported beliefs. Religious enterprises have full privileges and face little opposition in broadcasting their biased materiel to the world. The main reason that this false information is being allowed to be broadcast is probably because of all the money it generates. The majority of people in high places think that lying to people in the name of religion is not a problem. People need to be educated that religion is only mythology written into fictional bibles. Thankfully, the truth can be shared on these internet pages for free.

  Ignoring the problem will not fix it nor make the problem go away and it will only get worse. The way that the clergy deceives people... in the name of god... is the worst part of all. If you believe in god then honor at least one important rule. "You shall not lie."

• The clergy do not know god. The clergy only believe in and worship the fictional gods of their holy storybooks. By never knowing a real god the clergy can only lie. Telling lies about god is very wrong. Believing lies about god is even worse. Everyone should be ashamed for allowing billions of ignorant believers to live in religious bondage through the freedom of religion, which is far more horrific than ironic. Everyone alive today is to blame for allowing all of those ignorant religious believers to be deceived if they know which religions are not true but never make any effort to reform religion.

  There is a separation of church and state, so a government won't be able to interfere with religion. Also, there are many universities and seminaries that are willfully concealing this information mainly for money. If any change happens it will start from the bottom up. Ordinary citizens will have to be the main catalysts in causing any significant religious reformation. The main goal is to label all of the known fiction inside every religious book and identify its known truths. Then all of that information should be added to textbooks, dictionaries, and encyclopedias for everyone to read.

  Please tell the truth most of the time and then behold the miraculous events that will unfold. I say most because I know that is quite impossible for anyone to be completely honest. There are just too many dangerous situations around today that prevent anyone from revealing the truth safely all of the time. But, other than maintaining your personal safety or the safety of others, I urge you to be as honest as you can be - all of the time. Honor truth and good things will happen. Everyone is able to discern the truth by themselves.

  #2 Answer: I love questions like this. Objectively, if you ask a Buddhist, they will say Buddhism, a Catholic will say Catholicism, a Baptist will say... you guessed it... Baptist. The truth about the Truth is one of the all time mysteries of humanity. Pray, pray, pray, and let God, Allah, Buddha or whoever lead you to the path that He wants you to take and not the path that man wants you to take. Because only He can answer that question for you and you are right if you think your answer will be different from everyone else's.

Answer:

It is not in a denomination, nor a system of religion, in which truth is found. It is in a person, who is called "Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23. This is Jesus Christ, who created all things (John 1:1-3). He plainly said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:3. He said that He was the truth, and would make the truth known to those who trusted in Him for forgiveness of their sins: "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31,32. He said to those who followed Him: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth..." John 16:13a. The truth is in Christ alone, by His own statement.
