I deny this in Gloranthan reality.

        The fact that multiple, even apparently-conflicting truths can exist alongside one another does NOT mean that _everything_ can be true.

        Gloranthans believe many falsities. There are false cults, false priests, false superstitions, and even false methods of worshiping the gods. Just because you believe it -- even if you get a whole nation to believe it along with you -- does NOT make something true. But it might provide you with magic power in the meantime.

        Ultimately, the God Learners fell because their entire philosophy, the underpinning of their society, was founded on a lie.
