TruthDoes It Matter?

What I have against religion is that the Judaeo-Christian mythology is not true. The simplest yet most exalted attribute of our species is the acute, persistent, unquenchable craving TO KNOW. Do you realize that to many men (and women) it makes a vast and a profound difference whether or not the things about them are as they appear?

H.P. Lovecraft

Does truth matter?

For those who follow a religious path, truth may be secondary to comfort.
But for many of us, there can be no comfort in untruths.

In the authors experience and opinion, religion is responsible for a great many sins.

In the name of religionthe pursuit of knowledge has been hampered.
In the name of religionwomen have been vilified.
In the name of religioncountless acts of barbarism have been committed.

Make no mistake, such things are still alive and well in the twenty-first century. Through the exploration of some of Christianitys most enduring mysteries and questions, Does It Matter? encourages you to re-examine your beliefs.

Did Moses write the Old Testament?
Was Jesus Christ the founder of Christianity?
Do angels ever appear as female or children?
Does the Bible say that the soul ascends to heaven or hell immediately after death?
Was Mother Teresa really a godly woman?
Has an actual miracle ever happened outside the Bible?
Whats more important, faith or truth? The answers may surprise you.
