2. And you don't get it. That much is abundantly clear. You think human potential as realised in religious experience is fully realised in technology? Please explain.

I see you've added a new qualifier. Bolding mine.

-Is- potential realized in religious experience? Seeing as how you haven't defined that potential, or explained how religious experience might achieve the effect you have chosen to leave undefined.......that's a fairly empty question. No freebies Frodo.

Elaborate?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No. Assumed freedom is slavery. In some ways worse.

oh, yes... We're all slaves to our energy requirements; sleep requirements, ambient temperature requirements, locomotion requirements, entertainment requirements, etc...

And it is much worse than having to be slave to someone else's wishes... -.-'
