...interesting choice of illustration--bite the fruit to know for yourself. I mean, dude, you're basically quoting the Serpent in [Genesis 3:1](https://esv.org/Gen+3.1).
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me." ([John 14:6](https://esv.org/John+14.6)). Jesus, the man, the Son of God incarnate, *is* the Living Truth. Which is to say: Truth is a person. It is not some mute, impersonal law or fact that exists "above all religions."
Our Creator has spoken to us clearly in creation, in conscience, through his Son, and (most clearly) in Scripture. He has told us what is true, and the way we should go. He has told us the Truth--it's this, "thus saith the Lord, " -- or, hiss with the Serpent, "did God *really* say that?"

Obviously we have some deep differences here. But, that aside, we can agree that nostr and bitcoin are good things to be fought for--and that freedom of conscience, speech, and worship--no matter how deep our disagreements--are worthy principles to fight for. In these causes I am happy to be co-belligerent.
