I'm asking you. I'm not gonna read a whole book if you haven't read the whole book.
If you have read the whole book, then provide the answers. It's what discussion is.
You don't get it, I do not have time for closed minded people/trolls.
If you are really interested, you will take the time to read it, if not you won't and I really don't care... I won't waste my time for you anyway.
Here is a page of the version without religion that says much :

Religious people want to believe so badly, they will ignore scientific evidence, reason, common sense and their own better judgment. Religions have perverted the meaning of the word "truth". The Webster's Dictionary definition below says what the word means:
truth: being in accord with fact or reality
Many things religious people say they believe are not in accord with fact or reality. They are myths, superstition, hope, not truth. To say it is truth is a lie. True or false? In other words, most of the world's traditional religions are spreading lies and many know it, which in addition to being liars makes them dishonest hypocrites. The ones that do not know they are lying think they are doing the will of their god, when in truth, they are doing the will of the enemy of their god, Satan, who is defined in their holy books as the great deceiver, the king of all lies.
The real truth unites people; it does not divide them. It makes sense, and it applies to everyone, everywhere, all of the time. It creates clarity, not confusion. The truth leads to real equality, freedom, peace, love and understanding. The real truth only asks you to believe in something you can check for yourself.
Anyone who cares about the truth enough to check what it is will know the truth. Those who do not care enough will not learn the truth and will be lost and deserve to be lost.
Monkey see, monkey do: Most people just tell people what they have been told the truth is. They just accept what others say the truth is, especially if it is what people have been accepting as the truth for thousands of years. It is monkey see, monkey do.
Second-hand truth should not be believed or repeated without checking it out for yourself. The age of playing follow the leader is ending now.
Second-hand truth is called hearsay in a court of law, and it is not admissible for an important reason; it has proven not to be a dependable source of the truth.
What could be more irresponsible than saying something is true without knowing beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true? Billions of people are doing it.
Do not believe what anyone says, including me; check things for yourself. You have to see the truth yourself in life itself to know it.
You are at what could be the end of a very long and difficult quest. You now have the opportunity to complete the quest and leave the animal realm forever.
The only real difference between mankind and other animals is our ability to reason and think. Thus, reason has to be what we have to use to evolve further. We have to use what sets us apart from other animals.
The truth: You now know “the truth” part of the truth and life. There are only five fundamental things you need to know, and they are the following:
1. Our true history.
2. You are immortal.
3. Everything will balance.
4. You are a spiritual being.
5. The present is everything.
