As an Atheist, i would want the truth, because that is what all logical,scientific people are searching for.

I would want the truth, although philisophically it can never be the final truth in my head.

I don't need to be right about my beliefs, I love it when people proof me wrong.
I can create a huge ego, but not big enough so that I think that only I will be right. That means it isn't a bad thing being wrong. Only knowing your wrong but sticking to it is a shame..

I am totally unconcerned with capital T (objective) Truth for three reasons:

1. I am not convinced any non-subjective human understanding is possible.
2. The likely non-existence of objective truth appears to have no negative practical impact (relative to believers in Truth).
3. Accepting the unlikelihood of human understanding of any objective truth appears to have many positive practical effects (relative to believers in Truth).

All the fun is in figuring out WHAT the truth is for me! As long as I can love others along the way, being "right" has little appeal for me. Discovery is what it is all about!

No matter how many truths you'll find, there will always raise new questions..

Which keeps life interesting. I mean, if there was only a finite amount of truth in this world, I would soon go bonkers. I want to search and explore: figure out inter-relationships and new ideas. Life is no fun if you have to read a book to figure it out!

Final Truth. I speak from experience. I left a certian faith after over 30 years of active membership. I found out the whole thing was a big fraud. It was hard, and still is. I left all of my friends and strained relationships with my own children. Fortunetly my husband was open minded enough to listen to my concerns and research for himself. He left the church too.

I don't know what the final truth is about most things, especially God, but I do know the final truth about that church. And I am a far better person for knowing it.
