JASON: (YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH)

    HERE ARE SOME QUOTES TO HELP KNOW THERE IS NO TRUE TRUTH.
    (and by the way you could help yourself by losing your anger)

    He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth, will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

    A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.

    Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

    In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

    Accuracy of statement is one of the first elements of truth; inaccuracy is a near kin to falsehood.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Adversity is the first path to truth.

    Argument is conclusive... but... it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment. For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. his hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.

    A rusty nail placed near a faithful compass, will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.

    If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism -- at least in the sense of this work -- is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.

    Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.

    When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths

    Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.

    Big Jim,
    Thanks for all the quotes and my new signature I was wondering who said that statement. I would like to tag it to the quote. Thanks again

    Big Jim,

    I'm not sure how many more times i will have to say this but I am not angry at all. You are probably reading it in a hostile tone. But I have not been writing that way.

    In order to apply these quotes to me you must assume you know what I believe. That I follow a single sect. And you don't seem to make a lot of sense. You said THERE IS NO TRUE TRUTH. So if there is no true truth, how can what you're saying be true? Are you just assuming all of those quotes are true? You must be. I believe the word of God but you try to argue against it using the folly of men you don't even know.

    Jason.
