Well... I for one think the OP is playfully insightful, and deserves an upvote, duly given. I like how it mashes Judaism/Christianity and secular humanism in a stylistically sound HPMOR manner.

I suspect the Myer-Briggs " xNTx " 's will like this, and others will think it's daft. Curious to test this, and would appreciate feedback from those who know their MB type indicator.

And also... I am happy with my interpretation of the OP... but Daniel, I'd like to know if I'm wide of the mark, and as others have suggested you were trolling, or walked away from a part-done post.

Even if this interpretation is correct (and at this point I think it probably is)... is it about 'secular humanism' or wireheading?

Hmm... good point! Maybe OP will let us know what he was thinking.

I guess this shows that one can find various meanings in stuff, whether they were put there intentionally, or not.
