I still don't see the point.

If religion showed you a method to get to God (praying, doing good deeds etc) and then someone came along who proved that there was a significantly easier way of attaining Nirvana without all the hassle; man would be afraid. "What if we get found out?" But when they see a LARGE and growing community of people ABLE to attain nirvana in exactly the same manner as described (i.e. without the pain) and while fighting the borderline criminal requirements that religion set - many would agree and leave the supposed "set" path and embark towards the easier solution. Some may do it out of greed, some desperation, and many more through sheer curiosity.

Why are people afraid of piracy? Use a damn no-log VPN and attain whatever it is you want without corporate monkeys in your brain. Get a seed box to give back to the community. Give a coffee to the people doing the hard work for the extra seretonin.

The only reason why someone would be arbitrarily afraid is if they don't have a clue. Such people should be getting into a habit of RTFM; they're going to need it.
