And brc, seriously, knock off the downrates for political disagreement. I'm being polite here, and whoever is doing this is pretty much proving that they're no

  So why are you so invested in making sure we don't act on it? This is why I downvoted you. I grew up in a religious environment, although I am not religious now. Your statement reminded me almost exactly of the way I watched religious conversion being pitched to new prospects when I was a child. On one hand, there's a chance of total damnation. On the other, if you make these simple commitments, all will be good. And the commitments you make are good for you in either case. You have been doing wrong. Now is the chance to repent and change your ways. How long will you stay childishly in your selfish ways? The similarity was almost spooky. What can I say? I didn't like the style of the comment. Your downvote had nothing to do with the any sort of politics that I'm aware of. While I don't agree with you, carry on the conversation. I'm sure my little downvote will easily be compensated by dozens of other votes from people who didn't have my response to your particular turn of phrase. No worries, mate.

    Well, there's multiple people doing it, and frankly, attempting to silence opinions you disagree with seems much more religiously invested to me than simple hedging against the worst case. Anyways, I hope you're right but I fear that you aren't.
