Really well presented.  To my mind, the reason memetics has been slow to gain acceptance is the fact that billions of god virus hosts refuse to believe that their most cherished beliefs are nothing more than the contents of a selfish computer virus that uses their brains the same way the pneumonia virus uses their lungs. 

The "Atheist Novel" at the right is a story based on memetic theory.

Old habits, hard to extinguish, require extra consciousness to ferret them out. I like your information on how to do it; on using language to understand and express fresher, healthier ways of being and transforming belief based on fear and submission to thoughts that develop potential. Crutches of obedience give way to enlightened language of self-recognition in community and relation to the universe. Thanks Ruth.
