Sells,
Your belief in God is about as truthful as the Yanks belief that Trump is still the POTUS.
David

"We are here to glorify God." Is God so insecure that He needs frequent glorification? I am one of the two creators of my children. They don't need to glorify me. I hope they like me a bit.

I think it is good to love truth. That is one reason that such concepts as the virgin birth and life after death should be recognised as assertions with no evidence to back them.

Let us strive for truth.

Let us strive for truth.
davidf,
A lot of high ranking people would lose their positions !

All politicians are not liars. I was an advisor to Senator John Woodley who is also a minister of the Uniting Church. In our association I never knew John to lie. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I wish that all politicians were as scrupulous.

It seems to me that the brutal history perpetrated by the officers of the institutional church tells us without a shadow of a doubt that any and everything was/is always possible for those who believe that they are "saved" by believing in the obvious nonsense associated with the brutal murder and alleged "resurrection" of Jesus.

Indeed such has always been the case - look at all the horrors perpetrated by christian true believers throughout his-story. Beginning with the systematic murder of "heretics" by the enforcers of the official dogmas of institutional church which was created by those who won the culture wars in their time and place - 300 years or so ago.

Some present time leading edge purveyors of the perennial christian psychosis - not so much as a smidgen of an iota of transcendental truth to be found in anything they say or do

Alternative truth? Sorry, Peter, there's no such animal!

The truth is something we can prove absolutely and without a shadow of doubt! All else is speculation, assumption or superstition like say, Constantine's version of seriously reworked and revised Christian belief, which has so little in common with early esoteric Christain practice as to beggar belief!

Faith-based belief is not the truth! Just constantly evolving speculation!

And none can say that any particular passage in Constitine' version of religious belief, has so much as a scaric of divinely inspired truth!? But might contain a (do unto others) universal golden rule code for living!

And one does not need to be a member of some political organisation that calls itself, a religion, to believe that? Even so, words even if voluminous, are worthless! Only actions have results or outcomes!
