Does "TRVTH" set one free? Truth can certainly promote and assure freedom ... but the "key" to the jailhouse door is not some ultimate "TRVTH" that we must find. Some argue that Theists, Deist, or Atheist are free due to some "TRVTH" or that they are all hypocrits because they debate one another. Yet, such claims are in themselves missing the point. Debate and argument is good as it might lead to something that does bring freedom. Yet such debates between opposing camps may also cause each of them to claim to bear the banner of "TRVTH" and thus be "Free" ... but neither are free.
Honesty is what sets one Free: While 'truth' can produce freedom, it is an ideal hard to achieve. Its cousin, 'honesty' is far more practical and achievable. Honesty brings immediate mental freedom ... and places that person in the best position to receive 'truth' when and if it ever emerges.
Honesty is the first and most necessary step to find truth: No one can 'prove' God's existence, nor can anyone 'disprove' God's existence. Therefore, any camp claiming to be "The Truth" whether it is a brand of religion or atheism can never be "free" because neither has taken the first step toward 'truth' ... that is honesty.
Agnostics are the truly honest ones: These honestly admit they don't know. They do not have to promote or debate creed. They have reached the 'ultimate in human experience' in that they simply refuse to demand that one side or the other is "TRVTH" until some hard evidence emerges that allows them to take the next step to ultimate 'truth.'
If everyone on this planet could be honest: And admit we just don't know ... then maybe, finally, God, whomever She/He/It is would see the need to give us some 'truth' and such would be beneficial ... but, in all honesty, it would have been "Honesty" with ourselves and others that forced God's hand ... it would be "Honesty" that was the real step to set us free.
Until we can be Honest: The thing that set us free from the Watchtower was not some greater revelation of "Truth" nor some new and better arguments ... it was the ability to finally be "Honest" and admit that something was not adding up, not right ... and when we left, if we stayed honest, we did not run to some new system of "truth" ... but we begin to explore and discover that we just don't know ... we cannot be dogmatic or judgmental ... and we must wait until we have something solid on which to base any future claims of "Truth."
The Bible would have been better served in saying, "If you will be honest, you will be set free from systems of thought that entrap you ... and in the process, you will have taken the first step toward truth."
