So here's my favorite question for religious folks. Do you seek God or do you seek the truth? 3.1459 points for the best answer lol!

I am not religious, therefore I seek the truth. You're giving too much points for the right answer, I would be fine with just 3.14159 points!

Lol first person (including me ) to notice the missing digit.

God is not something you can 'find,' it's everywhere, possibly. If so, the 'truth' doesn't have to be 'found;' if not, it doesn't exist. In that case, there might not be any such thing as truth, or god.

The truth or the facts. I think sometimes people have different truths.

I could get pi points? I'd rather win an actual pie. But okay, I'll answer as the religious person I once was.

I seek the truth, and who better to seek it through than God? Since he's omniscient and all, real truth can best be found through him.

This is the circular sort of thinking that traps so many.

Oh boy, this could get interesting. Question: Does believing in something make it exist or not exist? Either it's there or it's not - right? You can't change the existence of something by believing or not believing in it agree? and BTW Pi are round, not squared lol!

@Waddyathink Agreed - a thing exists or fails to exist independent of my belief in it. There might be some exceptions to this, but I can't think of any (quantum physics or something? I dunno - that stuff is over my head.)

But for many people, the existence of God(s) is just a given. Assumed. Obvious.

Edited to add: I have made a square pie, and having done so, I find it rather silly that we all insist on the round shape. Square pies are easier to shape and to cut.
