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. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33080
