It should read "Are they really lies?"
"they" refering to religious teachings.
Heh...I couldn't have said it better myself. That's exactly how I felt.
The realization of the lies only hid the truth deeper. I knew what I was left with...solitude at the end of a path that I thought went somewhere. It would make more sence changing it like you said. I think I was just more concerned with escaping from that situation, rather than understanding the feelings I was left with.
Thanks for the comments.
