Midnight, I can relate to what you're saying. I've been fascinated by how differently our world religions point to ultimate 'truth' as you call it but still I'm deeply moved by those who have arrived at that truth - the Oneness.
Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, the many many saints or wise ones of all the traditions bring all their different viewpoints to us which can help us find insight on our own unique paths. It's not about the religions so much as the mystical experiences and their accompanying insights that are so wonderful and instructive.
I wish you all peace and joy in this time of rebirth.
love
