Truth

There is knowable fundamental truth. The world works in specific ways. There are physical laws, science in theory is the pursuit of this truth. There are spiritual laws, religion as a general concept is the pursuit of this truth.

Despite our best efforts and the significant progress we have made there is still a lot to be discovered scientifically. We have the scientific method though and that really helps us parse out what is true and what is not.

On the spiritual front we have divine revelation. The conundrum here is that there is a lot of "divine" revelation out there and most of it is rather contradictory and mutually exclusive in nature. Not everyone is right despite witty "coexist" bumper stickers. Ultimately there is one single spiritual reality. There is one set of spiritual laws under witch the world operates. No matter how inclusive you want to be there are a lot of wrong people out there. No matter what the reality of the situation.

I am a Christian so I believe that every other religion is incorrect. The thing is though, that you don't have to take my word for it. Truth is knowable, and it is not relative. So whether the spiritual reality of the world is a triune G-d as described in the Bible or a pantheon of diverse mini-deities like in Hinduism or some other thing we can know.

How, you may be wondering? Well, that's pretty easy, at least in concept. You use the scientific method. We can study the different religions and make quantitative analysis' of them based on their history, theology, and following. Not religion "shopping" to find what best fits your interests, but a honest review of what makes sense.

The world works in logical and deterministic ways. It doesn't seem to sometimes, but those times a points where we simply do not have enough information to understand what is going on. The spiritual realm is the same way. It might be really weird and beyond our ability to fathom, but I doubt that. I think we just work with a small enough piece of reality that it's hard to know what's going on a lot of times.

It's late and I'm rambling, but truth exists, it's not up to you, but you can find it and change how you live to fit reality.
