I like the distinction at the end between type-A Athiests (who, because of their nature, were not indoctrinatable into religion in the first place) and type-B Athiests (who are indoctrinatable, but for whatever reason their most recent indoctrination was into Athiesm). Cryonics conflicts with the burial customs of many (but not all) religions, so the same distinction seems likely to hold among cryonicists as well. His point was that you have to do different things to recruit and retain people from these two different groups. If only we had a quick behavioral test to figure out which group they were in. -- Tim Freeman GPG public key fingerprint ECDF 46F8 3B80 BB9E 575D 7180 76DF FE00 34B1 5C78 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20078
