I too value truth. Yes, truth does not care whether we like it ru not. It just is. Thats why truth is important.Well, I'll make a few points about how I feel about your question.
I care about what is true. I do. I value truth, even if I don't personally like the outcome of that truth. Personally, I cannot wrap my head around someone that doesn't care about the truth, especially considering
Correct they are not small details. Truth has consequences, whether we accept them or not.The repercussions. Depending on who you talk to, knowing whether there's a god or not entails a lot of possible repercussions that could very much affect me. Like, what I should value. How I should live, and what may or may not happen to me when I die. These are not small details.
I find that atheists cannot stop telling me how I should live my life. They demand that that I should live to their beliefs (or lack thereof).They cannot "leave it at that". For various reasons, many Christians seem to think that it's not good enough for them to live according to their religious beleifs, but demand that others - who do not share those belefs - should as well. This has caused qute a lot of harm in the past and present. Also, different religions have mutually excusive rules that they say must be followed. These religious groups are fond of legislating their beliefs, and I find this unacceptable.
Really? Could you give an example of this?
