Are you a theocrat? Do I have to submit to your religious beliefs when it comes to science and technology?

Yeah, go ahead and use your straw men of cloning and "organ harvesting" (which is a stupid myth created by people opposed to organ donation).

I look forward to a day when 6,000 year old Earthers share the fate of the Flat Earth Society and the Temperance League.

What does that even mean? I know what the word means, but honestly what theocrats were involved here and how were they involved?

“Do I have to submit to your religious beliefs when it comes to science and technology?”

You most likely already accept my religious beliefs in regard to murder so are you suffering as a result? You most likely already accept my religious beliefs in regard to theft. Are you suffering from that? You most likely already accept my religious beliefs in regard to many moral issues. How are you suffering?

And when is an issue ever exclusively scientific or technological today? Is human cloning exclusively scientific as an issue?

“Yeah, go ahead and use your straw men of cloning and “organ harvesting” (which is a stupid myth created by people opposed to organ donation).”

Uh, no, it isn’t a myth. It just has not been fully developed as a science yet. The question is: should it be developed? And if we’re talking about science and allegations of theocracy then how can I not bring up cloning? How on earth could that be a straw man when it is a very real issue? I think you’re just dodging it because it doesn’t work for you as an issue.

“I look forward to a day when 6,000 year old Earthers share the fate of the Flat Earth Society and the Temperance League.”

In case you didn’t know, we all share exactly the same fate - we die. You will too. Hopefully, before your time comes, you’ll become more fair minded.
