Even many things about the Bible, and key theological controversies, have glib formulaic answers from the mouth of our priests. But it turns out that there are deeper truths. It's not that the priests are consciously lying, but they believe these glib answers, and perhaps nobody simply cares to get to the crux of the matter, but just wants a priest to reassure us that we're not wrong?
I'm tired of believing lies. I still read HN's b.s. headlines all day. I still watch a bunch of video news on YouTube. I know, in my heart, that every news story is a half-truth, deliberately concealing enough information to get my engagement or outrage or sympathy. I am addicted to lies and misinformation. I thought I was a truth-seeker, but I wallow in a world of fakes. God help us all.
