Of course God is not a mental being. God is a myth created by people, that much is extremely obvious.

What I did was called "mockery".

People are mainly mental beings and thats why they are bound to create myths and mock them too. Its all predominantly happening on mental level. One of the popular myths created by physical mind is that nothing else except itself is relevant and everything must be judged by its standards. God the Infinite serves here as a mirror to reveal the limitations of physical reality. Of course God is going to look like pervert...

I am not asking for mandatory lab service or forced classes on superstring physics at gunpoint. I am pointing out though that there is a serious problem of cognitive dissonance in a population that lives ass deep in the fruits of the scientific endeavor and at the same time is hostile to the core principles that even allow these fruits to exist.

Yep. I recall conversations with an 85-year-old JW in the hospital; we'd both been there for several weeks, and I became acquainted with him after learning that I'd gone to school with his son. He was adamantly against the space program. But it never occurred to him that some of the advances made possible by the research that had gone into the space program were partly responsible for keeping him alive.

Btw, we just need the wrong happenstance for a full blown 100 years delay on human progress. Einstein was not born in an Amish farm, but he could have been. Who knows, maybe someone who would have solved the unified field problem was wasted that way already, and we will never know about it.

True. But it doesn't even need to be that much of a disconnect. Look at how people reacted after the Challenger explosion. "Space is too dangerous, stop funding it!" was something I saw over and over in the news, and later online. As recently as a little over a year ago on a social activism site, there were people spouting the "Space is too dangerous/expensive, we need to stay on Earth" stuff.

I have a button that sums up my opinion on such defeatist fear-mongering nonsense:

The meek will inherit the Earth.
The rest of us will go on to the Stars.​

True. I very frequently eat raw toast.

What I don't get about the toast you get served with in hotels, restaurants and cafes, though, is: it's always cold. And sometimes even, bizarrely, leathery. Especially in hospitals. Is there a special training school caterers get sent to so they can always serve cold toast?

Family Pizza here in town has excellent garlic toast. It's always served hot.

Now I want some.
