"Hope" is the key word.
If we always coddled the "hope" of the religious, the church would have been correct in arresting Galileo.
I think we are saying the same things.
"Truth". And I agree.
I am not trying to outlaw religion. I know you know that. But lets not confuse "hope" with "religion".
One is of human rights, and we both agree on that. The other is exactly what you said "Just say what I know or think to be true".
That is why I think it is better for humanity to look through a telescope than a kaleidoscope.
