His entire point is that a religious person believes he already knows the truth, because the truth is in the bible, which is the word of god and thus not subject to question. Therefore he does not have to search. A man who really wanted to know the truth would want to know if the bible was really written by god. If it was, that's what you study for truth. But the bible was written by early christians about 1700 years ago. Except for the old testament, which is about 2500 to 3000 years old. And it does not jive with things we can already prove as truth.

@Kas If you did everything right, you won't need to remember anything, because from what I hear, heaven is nicer than earth. And lasts forever. Don't think I don't regret that it isn't real...I'd like it to be real, but it isn't...or, more accurately, even if it did exist, since nobody ever came back to tell anyone else about it, I doubt it is anything like what the bible says. Considering most cultures don't really have a heaven...or a hell, for that matter. Most of the time it's just kind of another life for your soul, not really reward or punishment.
