This article has nothing to do with tech, but I wanted to share this with folks who're seeking answers about life's biggest questions, written from the perspective of a fellow HN nerd.
Some background about me: I majored in CS, did YC many years ago, and currently work as a data scientist at an NYC quant hedge fund. I've been a practicing Catholic for the past 5 years and have worked on this website as a personal side project for the past 2 years.
This article ties together all the other content on the website, and I published it several days ago.
As a Catholic Christian, I believe that the rays of God's truth shine through all religions to varying degrees, while the Church contains the fullness of the truth.
For example, Jews are the elders of our faith and Christianity is a continuation or fulfillment of Judaism. Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship the God of Abraham and have some common beliefs.
Our Buddhist brothers and sisters say a lot of good things about detaching ourselves from worldly desires.
But at the end of the day, the Christian faith does proclaim Christ as the one and only Savior, while all other gods are false, and all other religions are inaccurate to various degrees. I do firmly believe this, and I believe that the cumulative evidence points in this direction.

I think it's the ultimate arrogance to think one's 'faith' happens to be the 'true' one.
