POPSHow bad is giving it up for good?
Considering its duration and tenacity, some have suggested that such a belief structure must be an essential part of the human condition or psyche. Others have even suggested that perhaps there is some kind of ‘god gene’ operating or ‘spiritual’ aspect of DNA that makes us adhere to these convictions. Whatever the reason though, it’s also generally supposed that the majority of human beings will continue to maintain their faith in a higher power either ruling over their lives or, at least, being responsible for original creation. In particular, how much of humanity can humans retain once they begin melding with machines? Or the other way around, when the very nature of prosthetics, synthetic organs and implants determine how much in us is actually organic and what parts non-natural? When the contents of consciousnesses can be downloaded to memory devices or uploaded from them into brains, it’s going to be difficult to preserve the same self-image of our human wholeness.

POPSWhat a Whiner!!! A man lays down his life for his country and this man wants to deny him his choice of religion and keep him from using his own religious symbol on his own grave! I can't believe this. Then he whines about not being able to put artificial flowers on a grave. I guess honoring veterans is fine so long as he is able to put cheap flowers instead of the real thing.
