I, Robot - addendum
Topic: Culture
The right to choose our own safety also includes the right to believe how we want to believe regardless of whether or not that means we go to hell. Anyone who thinks that it's okay to harm people in order to save them in the afterlife, is wrong. This is the motive of parents who kill their children in order to make sure they go to heaven. This was the motive of the inquisition as they felt that they were giving the tortured person a chance to repent, and therefore go to heaven. This is the motive of "deprogrammers" who believe they are doing good by brutalizing people who don't believe like they think is correct. It's all justified in the name of saving them. This is no different from "saving" people from their own stupid choices about this life.
