I was a pre-teen Christian super computer

I'm still amazed in this day and age that so many people are able to reconcile the idea that a God would simultaneously subscribe to Christian values and instantly condemn to hell anyone who didn't proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Saviour prior to death.

Then again, kids at my school used to mutter and whine about having to do simple fucking comprehension, so learning critical thought is probably out of the question.

Also:
"No, you're right, Colby doesn't have a soul," Mrs. Betts explained. "He's just been programmed to think he does."

I need to get my hands on this script - I suspect it's a stunningly clever allegory, carrying the meanings read by whoever views it.

Downright creepy.

I'm wondering how many people will get the 8086 reference myself.

Fortunately it shouldn't detract from the experience for those people who are less well versed in crusty old technology.

I'm a little concerned about the image accompanying the article, actually - it would appear there is a female computer there.

How the hell does that work? And is she wearing enough?

Gotta be careful, don't want Colby to be tempted to give in to his pre-programmed self-replication scripts :-O

Jeebus, good lord, what a fucked up play...

I don't think I ever wanted to be a robot... A cybernetic super human yes (Megaman was often something I drifted off to sleep thinking about), but not a robot. I think I am rather attached to this belief that I have a soul and a "heart" somewhere.
