To The Editor: I started reading this Opinion section about a year ago. The sharp disagreements are a representation of the deep and dividing differences across our country. One of the most profound questions I’ve ever been asked is “If what you believe is not true, would you want to know that?” I can share my beliefs and opinions, but if what I believe and think is not actually true, I do want to know that. There is a truth about all things, including where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going. There are as many personal beliefs and religions as there are people, but believing something does not make it true. If what I believe is not true, I definitely want to know that, and do not want to just have a belief that I am comfortable with, or that fits my personal thoughts and feelings, or that allows me to pursue my desires, or that helps me to blend well with others. If that is what I have, the chances that what I believe is true are about zero.
