Annatar: In your example of religions that have human sacrifice, both the people who say the action of volunteering for sacrifice is a selfless act of love, and those who say the religion is evil are right, but the statements do not contradict each other.

In your second example, one person says gray is a dark shade of white, the other says it's a light shade of black. Again both are right, but again the statement do not contradict each other.

Truth does not depend on the point of view, only the description of the truth.

PS: I agree that truth can be and is found in this life.
