It's unfortunate that some prefer to see the spread of knowledge and fact
as spreading hate. I hate no one. I merely chose to share some literature
by a respected author and researcher that bravely encounters some
uncomfortable facts. Don't shoot the messenger.
I do dislike when people let their religious beliefs stiffle reason and
thereby chose to disaprove the technologies we need for our goals. My life
depends on them not just my immortal aspirations. If someone threatens my
life by overt violence I am justified in seeing them as an enemy. How is it
different for ones that vote my demise? Maybe to some this Extropian stuff
is an interesting intellectual diversion or hobby. It's plain survival for
me.
Perhaps someone could elaborate the virtues of religion that will advance
the cause of Extropianism.
