Tragedy

Sadly came across this:

"There are over a thousand different organized Christian religions alone. They just about all seem to profess they are the only 'true Church, and that all the others are near demonic. Assuming that there was one of them that really did happen to get it right, and could manage to maintain this truth for more than a few months, the chance of finding that one, is like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. I suggest that needle may not even be there, so why waste your time searching for someone else to hand you all the answers. Wake up from that long sleep you have been walking through. "

I have not included the link b/c I feel there is little of value at this man's website besides a story of tragedy. He has given up searching for truth because we have done such a good job of hiding it, is the more important point. Started as a Mormon, gave it up and became a pagan with the usual claims of ancient lineage. Bad news, bad news.

He also makes many factual errors, of course. Just because many things claim to be true doesn't mean that they're all false. I can think of a whole lot of theories of how light works that claimed all the other ones were false and it was the one true understanding, but I don't recall scientists throwing up their hands and saying "We'll never know how light works! Let's just give up and agree to disagree!" But that is what he advocates. So sad.

Incidentally, for all the Catholic-bashers out there, it seems like it ain't helpin'. Knock it off, eh?

Ora pro nobis, omnes Sancti.
