Questions about Truth, God, and Life that I Should Have Asked Long Ago

Questions and more questions. Answers only alleviate some anguish and usher in more confusion.Those who have reached the 'truth', whatever they have found it to be, I have to seriously question how hard they really sought for what they 'found'. I find that it's easy for people to believe what they want to believe, but very difficult to accept Truth even when it poses triumphantly in broad daylight before them. It seems to me that the world has been playing a game for as far back as any history books can go. The only rule in this game is to see how many versions of 'the truth' can be invented. Today things are no different. There is the atheist who claims reason is supreme, God cannot be proven by observable means, so he cannot be real. We have many religions, all claiming some sort of supremacy over the minds of men-- Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity in its diverse forms, the list goes on and on, I will not bore you. Then of course there are the various opinions in the middle who have taken what they like best out of every other view on life. Of course, this topic is such a beaten one, what more can we get out of it, what can we do at this dead end? Some throw up their hands and conclude we can never know the truth. Is that what you will do? I sincerely hope not. If you have a little patience and more honesty, you will never stop seeking for the Truth, and that is what I will do throughout the course of these letters.
