As long as you aren't bothering anyone and/or posting tranny porn on billboards then the government doesn't care. Procedures will most likely have to be done outside of the country until somebody creates a program for the robots to follow for the surgical procedure.

The government would mainly be based off voluntary programs and designs. Let's say some guy that studied medicine for 6 years and was a doctor for some time created a new program for the operation by medical automated doctors. This would then be submitted and rigorous testing would be done to see if it's safe. After that, it can be added to the list of procedures available to the wider public. Same goes for items and technologies.

But the facts show it to be true. A majority of US Christians do not accept evolution, and oppose gay marriage (which is why it remains illegal in nearly every state). That's as clear a definition of fundie as it gets, and the figures are unambiguous. See pic.

Well I was just bullshitting about that, but it would probably be wise to subtly institutionalize barriers to office so that nobody with sincere religious belief can attain any sort of power. I realize it's unconstitutional but the framers did not anticipate the cultural friction between the devoutly religious and the educated.

Every other study corroborates their results, though:

A slight minority of Americans, and a slight majority if American Christians as a subset.

>>2. that doen't translate into them all wandering the streets looking to kill a queer.

Because of the legal consequences. If they were able, they'd install a system of government that would make homosexuality punishable by death, as in many other theocratic nations, including Christian ones in Africa.

so its ok if a genocidal/democidal fanatic get into power as long as their goals are secular?
I figured out long ago that power hungry control freaks do what they do largely independent of their supposed underling philosophy. The assholes who do it for ‘god’ would have done it for ‘the people’, the state, the neighborhood, ‘the children’, or yes ‘for science’ depending on where they were raised and what would get them power. Fixating on one supposed source of them while ignoring others is a strong sign you are one of the ones who shouldn’t have power ever.

It's a monstrous opinion I realize, but yes, provided they were sincere it could be a tremendously constructive thing.

Make a short list in your head. Right now. A list of technologies we simply can't have because of the religious, whether because of Christian opposition in politics or because Muslims could use them to commit mass murder.

Nuclear powered passenger airplanes would GREATLY reduce our use of oil, as would electric cars powered by radioisotope thermal generators, basically compact nuclear batteries. This is something that really could be done if not for the problem of Muslims who would use them as rolling dirty bombs.

Then there's stem cells, clones for spare body parts (sans brain), the list is a fucking mile long.

It doesn't work that way. It's not as if whatever segment of the population has a slight majority is instantly granted absolute political power. We've currently got a center right (but liberal by American standards) president who is either moderately religious or a closet agnostic. Dems have lost a lot of seats but still managed to get a lot of key bills passed, including the repeal of don't ask don't tell, despite the Christian majority.

I read it all, I just realized early that you indulge the fantasy that so many people are out to kill you because that’s how your mind works, a violent us vs. them mentality where you are the light and they are monsters. Taking the time to spar is just a little practice for me, I’m past the notion that there is a light and a dark side, just me and some 6 billion other sides. If all you see is hate, maybe what you see is all yours.
