In fact, christianity is perhaps the worst social ill entrenched in american culture at this time.

When is this worthless religion going to die out? It's time ended so long ago.

E.V.O.L.V.3.

beliefs = not based on truth, why waste time?

What am I trying to rant about again?

translation: HIV is curable via genomic/regenerative medicine (stem cells) The new cells would make a new immune system.

What are the downsides? A new immune system still has the potential to be weakened by a virus that mutates over time, which means that treatment would perhaps have to be repeated over the course of the patients life.

So is that really better?

YES!

Treatments already have to be repeated so many times in the first place, regenerative medicine would already be much more efficient, given the frequency of the treatments.

So many special gay men have already fallen by the wayside due to the government, pharmaceuticals, and insurance. Those are the 3 evil powers keeping people sick. Why have all these industries popped up and stayed around when they're only full of evil.

All I want is to help people.

It has always been obvious to me that love isn't real. Sure, it's measurable as a chemical reaction in our brains, but everyone close to me has ultimately betrayed me on a very fundamental level. I don't trust anyone. I wasn't raised with secure attachment, so I can't form lasting relationships as an adult.

From a young age it was obvious that I was queer, I'm fortunate to have grown up in the bay area, because in many other places in the world such as the middle east, I would still have to worry being killed for being who I am. I think everybody is a little bit gay, it makes sense since we share so much dna with binobos.

White people have always been very racist against me, in addition I have experienced a great deal of homophobia, in spite of living in the most liberal place in the united states. From a young age it has been obvious to me that white people have damaged the world beyond repair.

I was raised methodist, but christianity has always scared me. I remember when I was a child, my grandma who is catholic took me to a catholic church, I burst into tears immediately and she had to be removed- I knew intuitively that there were people there who wanted to hurt me. I have always seen christianity as a cult, and I have no respect for them. I also have no respect for muslims, I think they're creepy and living in the dark ages. I identify with Jews because they're real. If I had to put my religion into words, I guess I would call myself a Buddhist, although I am interested in other points of view, such as scientology.

I am a postmodern product of capitalism and the media. Money is one of the only things I care about, and I judge people by how much money they have. I think violence is cool, probably because I grew up watching it on tv every day. It sucks how dollar bills are no longer worth shit, and my generation is the one who is trillions of dollars in debt thanks to the generation before us. Generally speaking, I place no faith in politics, in fact I pretend like they don't exist because they're too depressing.

I'm a college student, and my dream is to start a biotech firm (specializing in tissue regeneration, and using genomic medicine to achieve immortality) but I really just want to become a famous scientist in order to get sent into outer space.

Not that many things matter "in the big scheme of things" and, for your enjoyment/education, I will now type a list on digitalgoodness.info:

cleaning up the environment
global "government"
ending poverty
curing all disease
genomic medicine
space travel and exploration
measuring life in other areas of the universe

These things are 100% attainable. Strange.

oh, and figuring out the mystery that is time...

"It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science." [Darwin]
"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." [Voltaire]

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]

"Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

"I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life – our desire to go on living … our dread of coming to an end." [Edison]

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." [Lincoln]

"Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?" [Arthur C. Clarke]

"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies." [Thomas Jefferson]

"Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile." [Kurt Vonnegut]

"Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race." [Bertrand Russell]

(it's all about balance, a.k.a. Cell Recycling) 

social constructions, ethnicity, identities, and likewise charged
terms aside, I'd prefer to speak on my immune system's biological
advantages to being "mixed race."

Death is the antithesis to life, and unless one was to die through
accident, disease (or old age) will end all life. I see death in
itself is a disease, one that could easily be forever halted (if the
right amount of money were placed in the right areas). Then again, I'm
a fatalist, so what the fuck do I know?

Disease is so prevalent in the world; on the micro scale, forms of
life (bacteria, viruses, protists, etc) mutate and colonize at such
alarming rates, getting rid of them with always be impossible?
Throughout the world, specific diseases are endemic to certain areas,
that is to say that specific diseases have certain gene pools which
inevitably are limited (and vary) by:

1. space (geographical)
2. the endemic population of potential hosts

Given these limits, disease can mutate only "so much" within a
population, over time. Also, given that specific populations of people
inhabit specific areas, specific groups of people start to have
long-standing associations with certain diseases, which in turn
evolves specific populations to specific immunity (and infections).

By having a genome comprised of genes from many different continents
of the world, I have been blessed with a naturally superior immune
system. I am naturally resistant to more diseases, whereas someone
whose genes come from all one part of the world is left at a
disadvantage. I notice that my overall health (and well being) tends
to be much better than average; many mixed people have expressed
similar observations to me about their health and immunity.

At the same time, my risk of genetic defect and/or disease goes down
to almost impossible by being mixed. Again, incongruous genes are
placed next to each other, resulting in less potential for inferior
genes to be expressed (genetic disease). Basically, I'm more evolved
than the average person, and I'm glad I'm not white, because it's
evolutionarily advantageous.

efficient, more evolved baby...
