Most religions will kill the truth if it threatens their belief system.

The implication for me was that I had to cease being a Christian when, contrary to my previous convictions, I could no longer honestly maintain that the core doctrines of Christianity were true.
It cost me most of my friends and social life, and a fair chunk of my sense of security.
But (perceived) truth comes out ahead, to my mind.

Truth is one of the major stones in the foundation of religions.
To forget the pursuit of truth is to loose your way.

There is no religion higher than conformity to fact or actuality?! Huh?? I know of no such religion, but anyway I don't know. What do you mean by "higher"?

~~~newdude,,, I think this a variation of a well known quote, but technically speaking "Truth" is not a Religion, by definition.

I read it as dogma must be altered to fit facts, not the opposite.

Wrong! there's one truth. You may find it in the new testament.
