From a recent page -

The Truth is a living entity. Your mind can never capture it. Once you speak, you leave Its domain. You move into the denser realm of fact or guess. Once there, someone can always contradict what you say. If their logic is intact, they can present another equally valid perspective in which your truth is false.

Most systems claim to posses the Absolute Truth, something that you must accept. ("God said so.") What they offer, however, is a peppering of facts served over a large portion of guesses.

Good Friday - and time 4 the annual Children's Hospital Telethon ... I wonder how much they'll raise this year ...
