What you say is true, but I fail to see the point. There are still those who hold Calvinist-like beliefs who identify themselves as Christian, and the central tenet of the divinity of Christ, (Filioque aside), remains the same across Western Christianity. Some details of belief and observance may vary, but the Bible remains the central thesis. What's more, there is a remarkable consistency across denominations in what is touted and what is ignored. Try to find, for instance, a congregation whose leader has informed it of the full ramifications of Luke 19:27.

I might add, little has changed since Ambrose Bierce defined a Christian as, "An individual who believes the Bible is a divine text, perfectly suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor."

... it perhaps overreaches. Some 2,000 years later, most Westerners still idenitify themselves as "Christian". Over a century-and-a-half after John Tyndall demonstrated that changing the composition of a gas affected its ability to absorb energy, many in the public deny any anthropogenic contribution to global warming. Oh, and where are the flying cars?

... there is nothing new about law enforcement, or the corrections industry, serving and protecting itself before any considerations of the society and its citizens.

... they can point them west. When the homeowner pays, they are free to maximize their financial benefit from the installation.

You're basically assuming AI would be governed by the biological imperative of replication. Silly hooman.

Ether way.

News flash: the media profits from stoking controversy; the nuclear industry profits from convincing the public it's as safe as mother's milk. Neither can be truly trusted, so it is only wise to err toward the side of caution. And, please, discount the shrill, "But I know best", lamentations of the partisan.

Seriously, there's a rating lower than "X"?

Everyone knows the most abundunt material is phlogiston!

... a flesh wound from a .22 causes gallons of blood to splash across the surround, you expect realism? How realistic is that?
