Replication/ prolification are induced by the venue in which you live,
can be a result of the emotional state you were in, what kind of people
you meet, what kind of people you talked to, etc...but all those examples
are part of some venue which acts as agents, it reacts and evolves along
the way, it influences.
And all of the unfortunate replications are too part of a venue, prompted
or not, being part of the atheist- side of the coin I am prompted any-
way to disgard salvation, what matters wether the meme/ information
can convince me or you to change sides....
Regards,
Kenneth
