Politics of space funding

I suppose it might make interesting Science Fiction. And I think this
would border on going 'political' but I think this might do.

I'm hardly one to go New Age with the scriptures as many have but I
would suspect that any being that can pass the Standard of I THINK
THEREFORE I AM would qualify for Christ's affection and kindness
since such a person's ability would dictate posesion of a soul.
Afterall, the Ethiopian eunoch was as alien to the Judean world of
Jesus as one could get yet he was the first gentile convert followed
by the Centurian Cornellius. And Jesus did not define the bounderies
of the world. He did through Paul pretty much set things down in
regards to Sin and Sinners. It is not in the body that one finds
oneself but the way one does with one's body that sets things.

This would also apply to geneticly created beings, creatures such as
the Frankenstein monster.

After all the difference between an angel and a demon is not species
but the behavior or 'lifestyle' they have embraced.

As for comunities in Space, well one could certainly say a strong
moral code is essential to a good strong society.
