Guys, I didn't know whether to put this in philosophy or not... I think ultimately your decision will be of a philosophical nature.
This question is a mish mash from various other threads about our fears/prejudices.
My question is: In the near future they invent the Star Trek style transporter.
It becomes popular and affordable.
Would you give it ago? Knowing you whole being, your whole essence of who you are is dismantled, analysed and basically 3D copy/printed almost instantly on the other side.
The original is destroyed as it would contravene the law and is highly illegal. (both morally and legally)
I'm suspecting the majority of theists would be hesitant as it implies the destruction of your god given "soul".
I personally would love to use it ... As long as there's no fucking flies around! lol

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
Know God, Know fear.
