The Simple Truth about Light

[Haipule]

Sorry to ruin it for anyone-
Religion is the only man-made thing that attempts to systematically and proactively benchmark itself against something higher than that the very basest and most worthless of all possible standards - man’s own wishful thinking

I don't think you quite grasp the concept of either "higher" or "wishful thinking".   Allow me to illustrate the concepts with examples:

For example:

Believing there is a sky daddy isn't higher than wishful thinking.   It is wishful thinking and rather lower than most other variety of wishful thinking.

Believing morality will be given down onto you isn't higher than wishful thinking   It is wishful thinking and rather lower than most other variety of wishful thinking.

Feeling truth is buttressed by a poll of the less educated and informed isn't higher than wishful thinking   It is wishful thinking and rather lower than most other variety of wishful thinking.

Feeling religion is or ever can be anything other than wishful thinking isn't higher than wishful thinking   It [b]is[/b] wishful thinking and rather lower than most other variety of wishful thinking.

I agree with Tackattack, religion is wishful thinking and completely worthless. It is ugly corruption with it's groomed façade of beautiful buildings and people wearing silly hats! They are good at raising money though...
