Excellent point... since theists maintain that they've got a promise of
eternal life from their supreme being, they have no justification for
engaging extropy. IOW, they simply don't belong with extropians. They have
their theistic doctrine of life extension, which involves the ritualized
superstition of ceremony and tradition. Perhaps I can ignore them, but I
can't ignore your insight into why we should ignore them. Thank you.
