Lunatics Anonymous recognizes The Principle of Bullshit that things that aren't true just aren't true. It doesn't matter how many people believe it - it doesn't matter that people have believed it for thousands of years - it doesn't matter if you want to believe it - bullshit is bullshit - and if it isn't true - it isn't true. There is a difference between something being true and something being not true.

The Principle of Bullshit is all about refusing to live the lie; to be able to call something the way it really is. It is the ability to face the reality of being wrong so as to create a starting point to make a better choice. It is to accept that you can't truly pursue reality if you continue to believe in things that aren't real. You may have made a mistake - or millions of people might have made the same mistake for thousands of years. But when you know its all bullshit then you have to call it bullshit. If you're a Realist then by definition you are supposed to give up what's not real - or at least admit your denial if you aren't ready to face reality.

Bullshit is bullshit no matter how many people believe in it.

Truth must be purified through scrutiny and doubt. There is nothing that rises above these tests. Anything that is prohibited from being questioned is not subject to doubt or scrutiny, is assumed to be bullshit per se. If you are required to believe something without question then that something is bullshit, even if it turns out to be true. There are those who would twist the truth, be misleading, tell half truths, hide the truth, use double meanings and distort definitions, be deceitful and deceptive, and flat out lie. People would require you to accept beliefs on faith and prohibit you from questioning those beliefs. Faith is often used to deceive people because it prohibits scrutiny, doubt, and accountability.

Truth is built on what is real and what is true. Bullshit that is passed off as reality poisons the truth and creates a weakness in knowledge itself. It creates a rotten spot in the truth. It inhibits growth and holds back our development as a race of humans. It keeps us from developing in a positive direction. The truth should expunge the bullshit through doubt and scrutiny and to replace it with what's real. The truth asserts a duty to resist the powers of bullshit by questioning everything. This moves us towards reality the way it really is. It requires courage, humility, wisdom, doubt, and strength of character to go against the cult mind and refuse to live the lie.
