Being Consistent

If we live inconsistently with what we believe about reality, how can we avoid the critique of being willingly delusional? To believe in a good God and live without hope is equally absurd as believing in a meaningless universe with hope. The only way to live without a fractured existence, is to pursue the independent, immutable, objective truth...and change your mind accordingly. The search for truth and meaning is the only possible hope humanity has for being more than a beast. If the naturalist is correct and humans are nothing more than beasts, than the secular humanist can colour us however they please, but we will still never be more than beasts.

On the other hand, if the naturalist is wrong than we may be beast in physicality, but also something more.
If the universe is not without meaning, than we have hope.

Doesn't the Truth matter on this issue? I am endlessly perplexed by the total apathy people have on this issue. The truth of the matter amounts to EVERYTHING. If everything we love and hate is arbitrary nothing...and yet you still live as if it is 'something' than you are in fact delusional. DELUSIONAL. I am quite comfortable defending that potentially but un-intendly offensive comment. And yes I will repeat. If you believe the universe has no ultimate meaning, and yet you live as if life is meaningful...that is absolutely delusional.

Thankfully the TRUTH shouts out and cannot be obscured despite the vain attempts of humanity. We have much reason and evidence to give us plenty of cause to think that Life has Purpose.
