Acceptance of Truth
Acceptance of Truth is our religious commitment to the Sacred Truth, the real truth, or otherwise know as the Hard Truth. Becoming a Realist is more than just saying that you believe in reality. To be a Realist you have to accept the Sacred Truth and commit to using the Sacred Method to determine what you believe in. Accepting the Truth means that you are willing to give up Bullshit, apply Scrutiny, and change your mind if you are wrong. It means putting Reality First.

In Accepting the Truth you are telling the world that you all the way in when it comes to Reality. It's saying that we're not going to just pretend we're into reality, we're not going to twist definitions to defend what we want to believe in, and we aren't going to make deceptive arguments to trick people into believing in anything that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It means that you're ready to feast at the Tree of Knowledge. It means that you are curious and that you want to understand everything. It means that you're ready to contemplate the Sacred Contemplations. It means that your Life Story is going to change and you will become a vessel through which reality becomes aware of it's own existence.

Religious Identity is about what you believe in. It's the passion that fires the soul. It's about your standards and who you choose to be in the world. It sets that standards for determining what is right and wrong. Religious Identity is about Values and it determines how you envision the Future. In the Church of Reality we accept the Sacred Truth and we become Realists. We commit ourselves to the Positive Evolution of humanity so that through Intellectual Tithing we can expand the understanding of our existence. Our real existence. The way it really is with all the Bullshit removed. Acceptance of Truth means we will go where ever the Truth leads us.

Newsflash
Marc Perkel, the founder of the Church of Reality is now listed on the American TSA list as a terrorist suspect. The TSA (US Transportation Security Administration) maintains a "selectee list" which lists people who are flagged for heightened security screening. This list, which has not caught a single real terrorist, is used mostly as a political enemies list against activists who are speaking out against government abuses of power.

"In some ways this is a badge of honor", states Marc Perkel, First One of the Church of Reality. In this environment of repression of non-Christian religions in America, if you aren't on the TSA list you aren't getting your message out. I consider it to be an acknowledgement that I'm doing my job."

This selectee list is not the worst list that the TSA has. Marc is not on the no fly list which would have prevented him from flying at all. This is just a harassment list that the US government keeps to intimidate activists.

As a result, the United States of America is now on the Church of Reality list of nations who are hostile to Realism and Realists and the US is a nation that is moving in a dangerous direction towards oppressing religious freedom.
