Summary

This quote suggests that worshipping oneself can provide the greatest happiness compared to other religions. It implies that self-centeredness and prioritizing one's own desires can bring temporary gratification and personal contentment. However, it does not consider the broader aspects of spirituality, community, and deeper meaning that religions often provide. This perspective focuses solely on individual satisfaction without acknowledging other essential elements that religions can offer, such as altruism, compassion, and a sense of purpose beyond oneself.

You should see what our Founding Fathers used to say to each other and in the early part of our nation.
