Someone once asked me, "If you could be perfectly happy for the rest of your life and go to heaven, or suffer through life but know the truth with respect to even the most painful understanding and still go to heaven; which would you choose?"
My answer, "I would choose to know the truth." Truth is the reason why I am a Christian and I assert that in a world brimming with non-Christians whose attacks and false assertions I have ultimately found myself able to diligently refute when they've run contrary to the objective irrefutable truth.
