San Junipero: More than a Story About Lesbians

I suppose guys were making the joke about the show being about lesbians to be funny? However if that's all that was gathered (shaking my head), that's sad. Anyway... I'd like to think of San Junipero has a movie that questions "faith". In the movie, people were given the option to die and maybe go to heaven or suffer in hell, to just die, or to be uploaded and live forever. It came down to either have a certain or leave things up to chance. At the end, there were millions of people who chose to be uploaded to the cloud; I guess you can say that people prefer certainties over possibilities.


I can imagine that a lot of Christians objected strongly to the creation of such a thing, accusing the creator of playing God. In contrary, there were those who were Christians and choose to see it as God allowing them all to live forever in a paradise. Another belief or question I have is aren't they still dead? The movie seems to imply that it is the mind that keeps the body alive and that people can survive without a body. Which is interesting! I think my mind makes me than as much of a human if not more than my biology. However, if people are still people well humans regardless as long as they have a mind, how does the Quagmire even exist? Ideally, people should still have feelings and experience many aspects of humanity with just their mind, right? To me, the people are still dead because there is no living connection between the thought and the actions. They are like "ghosts" and eventually they become soulless.
