Do you have a lightning rod in your house? Are you aware that learned and pious men objected to lightning rods when Franklin invented them because they might deflect lightning and thereby thwart God's will? Do you have clothing made from blended fabrics? Do you round the corners of your beard? Use buttons? Better be safe than sorry. In fact, this whole internet thing looks like the work of the devil. I hear it has naughty pictures on it -- even graven images. Better smash that computer or risk eternal fire.

In short, I don't accept your assumption about my progress (or lack thereof), but you are welcome to your club. Just keep it to yourself.

Even with lightning rods and other such measures, lightning can still go where it wants to, or rather where God wants it to. The kerfluffle about lightning rods quickly died out even among the most pious.

However, the claim that men are repurposed monkeys is something you can expect to see substantial resistance on.
