If you are going to title your post after the only absolute truth in the universe, you should at least give credit to William S. Burroughs and maybe even Marco Polo for spreading the dubious tale of Hassan I Sabbah, the old man of the mountain.

If Islam had followed in his path, rather than the way it went, we might live in a far more enlightened world. But as it is, all monothesitic Abrahamic religions (xtians, joos, muslims) have become mechanisms of CONTROL. there is no real truth left anywhere.

but then again, nothing is true...the biggest conspiracy of all is trying to keep people in the one so-called consensual reality (i sure never signed up for this shit)
