“I ponder the degree to which a person’s upbringing comes to bear on their religious orientation,” explains Da’ Truth. “Is there one true religion? Is it arrogant to be exclusive? Can we be certain that Christianity is the only religion that God acknowledges as true? How can we know for sure? Many people, Christians included, struggle with these questions, so I want to provide a soundtrack that articulates some of the internal twist and turns that people experience concerning exclusivity in religion. Essentially, I am echoing the questions and issues that so many people have with religion while resolving that one has to be true.”
Being brought up in a Christian household, Da’ Truth went through a period in which he began to question God and the idea of religion. While he arrived at the conclusion that there is only one true God, he knows that others face the same questions everyday, but may not feel comfortable addressing them.
“The popular aphorism that ‘All religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different’ simply is not true, yet this idea continues to be advanced in society. In reality, all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different,” explained Zacharias
