Really Real Truth

I was actively proselyting on the internets yesterday when I came across a person's site that really, really needed the gospel.

Truth is Delicious

He talked all about truth and how people understand truth in the church. That's easy, so I left a comment to tell him exactly what truth is and how to find it.

It's simple, because it comes from above. And by above I mean the attic of the Temple.

From the Temple, we understand the real knowledge of Truth. I call it the Marshmallow Theory of Truth. The Marshmallow theory of truth asserts the following validity claim of knowledge:

Truth is like a Marshmallow; it tastes good. It smells good. And it can help get you friends.

Who doesn't like Marshmallows?

Likewise, when you're camping, you have to place truth, or marshmallows, in between two facts, one on the top, and one on the bottom, of course the facts are graham crackers of reason.

Doing it this way, you have a 'smore' of veracity, which even Satan himself cannot undo.

That's how people see truth. It's simple.

The gospel is all about truth, or marshmallows, that satisfy the soul. Once we understand how yummy and sweet marshmallows can be, we don't ever, ever want to stop eating them. And if we're lucky, we'll be smart enough to use our graham crackers of reason to get a meal from the word of God. It's that simple. Truth is simple, it's not hard. It's soft and white, and sometime after you chew it, it's gummy and delicious.

Pray for me,
