Keith, I know why I am friends with you. This is a hoot! {8^D I can
imagine you suggesting something like this to the Templeton Foundation.
Regarding becoming a member of this organization, I might actually consider
it, assuming it costs very little and doesn't devour much time. It might be
interesting to be kind of a quiet infiltrator, to see if one formally
trained in theology at the college level might be able to smuggle in some
transhumanist memes. I know their vocabulary. They are not nearly as
dangerous as [name deleted].
Actually the more I think about it, the less I like the sneaky-ness of being
an infiltrator, but I just don't know how they would take a former christian
fundamentalist who converted to atheism. Suggestions welcome.
