Aint got much to do with "deserving." The rich folks need our numbers. WIthout 
us they have no chance.
Tough titty if they don't like it.

people don't support _him._ 




Perhaps. The facts however are the same. The rich people need us, and we do not 
have the $$.





>The backup unperson plan is--somehow, by means never explained--to reach out to
people with religious faith and convince them that cryonics is the real answer 
to their prayers. 




Nonsense. I have shown a number of times how the Bible supports cryonics. You 
yourself are no doubt well aware of the verses. 

You PREACH. That is what you do to win convert. Ya git up and ya preach the 
cryogospel using the Bible. Pretty simple, reallly. It is all about jesus and 
immortality and the bible and cold stainless steel and LN2. 

Dude, religion is in our GENES. It is there, built-in. Hardwired. Do some 
reading. I done a lifetime's worth.

Any questions? Please be specific.



>So, unperson, what I suggest is that we remove this from the hypothetical 
realm. You go out and find just ONE religious person whom you can convince to 
share your faith in cryonics. Just one. 





Working on it. Actually, my messages in this vein are meant for young people who
are interested in cryonics and may in the future come across my messages. I am 
planting seeds in the brains of future cryos. I am not trying to convince the 
older cryos who already have a set worldview. That is not how homo sapiens is 
constructed.





>And incidentally, I am not asking you to do something that I wouldn't do 
myself. My writing on cryonics was instrumental in bringing people into the 
field whom you should have heard of. 


I have heard of some whom you brought in. I am one of them. But I got older and 
kept learning and reading. I grew. What you read now is the result of that 
learning and growth. I have moved beyond you. Understand this: you and the other
cryos are freaks. I am a freak among freaks.
