When one says “ truth
wherever it leads” this to me has always meant courage is
involved, probably even more than intelligence. Intelligence does
not go very far without courage, but courage requires intelligence in
pursuing the deepest truths in religion, philosophy and science. One of
Nietzsche's notes: "A very popular error: having the courage of
one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an
attack on one's convictions." And of course his other quote:
“What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.” I pursue
truth believing that where there is truth there is true religion,
true philosophy and ultimately Godhood. I have found that this requires courage.
