This is a introduction to what I’ve learned in my journey to discover truth over the past 12 years, and that I am still undertaking. It might seem arrogant or funny to stand here and say I was looking for “the truth” and I found it. I really didn’t know what I was looking for when I took my first step but I knew that there must be something more than what I was taught by my parents and what I learned of the world in school. As I grew older I had many friends who lived such different lives. Even the ones who claimed to be of the same faith, creed, or affiliation; had different ways of doing things, for better or for worse. All of us here tonight also come from different backgrounds and have different understandings, I do not expect you to agree with what I say. You have your own experiences that have meaning to you. But I do hope you listen; Think about it, and look into it on your own. If you just take me at my word for it, then you aren’t looking for truth. You are just looking for an answer, any answer will do.
Why is it that so many people come to such different conclusions?
