[MD] Transhumanism

[Matt Kundert]

Mary, you've confused characters in my domestic comedy: 
my girlfriend's best friend is the evangelical who lost her 
brother.  I'm not close enough to her to know how this 
fairly recent event affected her faith.  But we went to 
church with her last time I was there.  First time in a long 
time for me.  My girlfriend, on the other hand, the "militant 
atheist": I know her well enough to have a pretty good 
idea that she has no particular reason to be as resentful 
as she seems.  Which I've told her.  And she smiles and 
shrugs.  (Man, you must have thought I was an idiot if I 
didn't know why someone who'd lost a sibling would resent 
God/religion.)

Matt

p.s.  And true about "thought-out," though I like to use 
"articulate" as a watchword that includes all those kinds of 
things.  On my view, because reasoning has so much to do 
with linguistic felicity, I like switching from "reason" to 
"articulation" because it gives a greater sense of a 
concrete, external activity.
