What is Truth?

I want to make a movie. It will open with two people arguing the things of their latest intellectual conquest. We will call them Mr. Atheist and Mr. Christian.

Somehow they are put together in a survival situation. Let's say, a deserted island. At First the Atheist huffs and puffs...

Look what you're " GOOOOOOODDDDDDD did." Lets see if your fucking god can get us out of this one......what......whats this.your PRAYING!!!!!...........and he laughs himself into hysterics.

Then he calms down and starts raving again....

You go ahead and pray mister...i am gonna make a signal fire.

Mr. Christian gets up and helps gather the wood and they remember how to make fire, eventually.

When once the juices where flowing the story will go .....i could see this movie with them having various battles of wit about whether or not the man's prayer, lead to the result of their survival, or whether it was the logical action of the other man. And do forth and so on.

We will notice how serendipity seems to be in favor of the chrisitan sometimes.....such as he thinks of verses from the bible that grant him insight into problems they are both working on. And other situations where Mr. Atheist quotes a scientist and works out the next logical step.

They have many rousing conversations about whether or not god was playing both sides.

Then they would talk about morals.........

They decide certain things. Such as ....well they agree on the basic five commandments....yes the biblical ones such as man to man decency.

They decide that what the IDEA is in the bible is to attain merits of compassion and knowledge in peaceful ways. WE all pretend our god is omni-good because we would like to ultimately be Good.

of course, they agree that people also crave to be bad.

After arguing about other people's conclusions concerning the problem of evil, they agree that their is a certin reality that we cannot seem to not be bad. No matter how strong we wish we could be many times our desires, wants, and strong emotions get the better of us.

Mr. Chrisitan calls it sin; Mr. Atheist calls it ........ well i think, he doesn't want to call it anything.

Anyhow.... at the very end of the movie there would be a very possibly tragic exciting situation
and they dont know how to get out of it. One prays for god to tell him information, One calculates his surroundings , simultaneously they blurt out the answer.

(psst to the director...pan away and jsut use the voices ...the thoughts of the men. Make it the Atheist's voice praying. muwahh haa haaa haa)

They then realise that truth presents itself. If either side was following their truths to discover more truth and where seeking the better of themselves to promote, the result every time will be means to truth. Both sides would eventually and always arrive at correct action.

is it god? Does that even really matter?

For me it is the holy of holy gods, and it operates in many ways.

what matters is to arrive at truth, grow in our better reaction to the responsibility of knowledge.

If the atheist was right, then he expects the christian to naturally arrive at the truth of what he says. The Christian also thinks in such absolutes. But Correctness is fluid. God is consciousness.

He sure could make this world a sinless place if we would focus ourselves in that direction, regardless of silly intellectual and entertaining mind games we'd prefer to engage in.
