Her response was "sin."
So we have an idiot brain wanting to remove a fictitious thing from a real world. This is why there's no progress in the world.
That is not why there is no progress in the world, but that is what makes much of the smug yet loathsome.

We may have to reinstitute lobotomy as an option for some.
Divine laws are in the same class as “self evident truths”. It is an attempt to forestall objections to and deflect scrutiny of a set of axioms governing what is meant to be a self-contained system.
The problem is self contained system only works if people can be prevented from noticing the outside of the system contains what they prefers to not give up.
