Re: Which is supreme?
"The truth as you(I) see it" is not necessairly the Truth; never the less, my God wants me to tell/persue the truth as I see it - even if it takes me into a realm where God is, to all appearances, absent. That, however, is not the same as choosing between God and truth (or choosing between God and Truth) as you might be suggesting.
​
My God wants me to explore and learn by my experience. The more I do that, the more I choose Him.

Re: Which is supreme?
Yes. I say that as honestly as does blugenes in message 89; during which journey I would have God's blessing.
​
My God wants me to explore and thereby learn truth and Truth by my experience. The more I actually do that, the more I fulfill God's plan for me. I choose to activly participate in God's plan for me. In doing so, I choose God.
​
You are right in saying that "You(I) don't know what the future will bring" regarding my(your) dis/belief in God. But which path you and I choose will not make my God jealous; in fact my God will be pleased that I have been activly involved.
