Truth must be the measure of our beliefs and our conduct.
It does not really matter if what others say about what we believe or our conduct is cruel. It only matters if it is true. If it is true, then it is useful. We learn something about ourselves or the world if we don't know that already.
In fact, we must welcome cruel but true words about our beliefs and who we are. They are like shock medications. They jolt us, wake us up, and transform us into better and more aware human beings. We learn more from cruel but true words than sweet, mellifluous utterances.
We must learn to be solitary, self-possessed, free from grief and numb to the hurts caused by cruel and untrue words.
But what is true about God and the Universe? We must find them out by ourselves, by the force of our intellect, but we can start the journey by first digesting the article "Religious Views of Albert Einstein" from Wikipedia.
Thus Spoke Wissai
