Does truth ultimately lead to happiness?

All our "problems" have to do with control. The lack of control keeps us from happiness.

 

Truth is relative to you, showing that nothing is set and nothing is in control of you unless you give it that control by makeing it matter somehow.

 

Would the truth about the relativity of truth therefore lead to happiness because it empowers us and frees us from the self sustained "the shackles of illusion" by alowing only the things we want to matter to us matter to us, giving us full control?

Is Our Pusuit of Truth Killing Us?

The modern separation between “meaning” and “truth” is leading us to a very sterile and meaningless existence.  This differentiation may also be a primary reason that we are disconnecting with each other and our precious planet.  Let me explain...

Welcome to my blog—a place to reflect with me on God’s abundant healing of soul, community, and creation. I hope you will visit often and be part of this sacred conversation.

The front page of the morning newspaper quotes an 11-year-old girl saying, among other things, “If you’re going to go through life, truth is big.”

The Truth Project


 

Our church is running this 12 week group study which provides an in-depth Christian Worldview experience starting next week, and I think it is kicking off across the country as well.

 

Is this something you could see your church doing?

What is the message of the bible?

I've been on this site for quite sometime, and I see a lot of different opinions, as expected. I want to know, what do you think is the message of the bible? If you had to sum up what the bible conveys in, say, one eight word sentance, or a couple words, what would they be?

 

This question is open to everyone, not just Christians.

What is 'God' for us, and, how can we discern what is true?
