While this documentary is presented through a religious lens--specifically Christianity--the wider and MOST important point is that the Truth is simply the Truth. The Truth is outside you, I, and everyone else--it stands on its own. From the very nature of truth to how our world began, from morality to religion, from population control to political correctness, from Israel to Islam, from atheism to God... our entire world runs on what we believe.
