Here's one:
There is existence.
The only absolute truths are the self-evident ones that you can see/feel for yourself, here is another one:
There is love.

Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test. ~ Rumi The day we start giving Love instead of seeking Love, we will have re-written our whole destiny. ~ Swami Chinmayanada Saraswatir

Love is the key to a universal religion
Love is in all of us, Love is what Jesus would have said (or buddhism etc)
Love god, love yourself, love others, love the planet/nature
A loving god is not the wrong god :-) because love is our soul and connection to god/the divine you must love accept & love yourself before you can truly accept & love others too
Acceptance & appreciation of the small things, being grateful living in gods name, giving to others, spreading the love, helping others
Giving is better than receiving
It starts with acceptance, then appreciation, then love for all things acceptance is something we have to learn it seems non-acceptance brings us further from god (thoughts,worries,judging etc.)
Most religions are fine with me as long as they teach acceptance, or allow for it Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism

The Bible was revised and re-revised long after Christ's time. In other words, it was edited -- things were added and other things removed. But there was alot that was written down during Christ's time. I believe that most of the things that were written down by the original Christians didn't make it into the later editings. The "Christian" church would have excommunicated Christ, (or executed him), as they did with the Gnostics. The Gnostics had more of the original teachings, which is why the church condemned them.
