External (to your body) entities (data processing algorithms) will provide answers to all questions humans might have.

In the future (and to some extend now) you rely on these invisible (yet very real) helpers to help you with your day to day activities.
Long time ago, you had to pray to God to have rain, or to find a suitable mate.

Algorithms today (and they will become more sophisticated as more data is collected and processed) will be able to predict rain or find you a suitable wife or husband, predict what is the best course of action regarding any human activities.  When to wage wars, when to have peace.  When to start presidential campaign, when to end it.  You can still refuse to follow these (essentially committing a sin and failing in your task), but over time people will trust more and more these technologies and follow what these external entities tell them to do.  What to eat, what to wear, who to associate with, who to trust, who you should avoid etc. Essentially, a set of rules that will help you with your life.  To keep you safe, out of danger, out of trouble.  You'll not question them because they will be more reliable than your own reason or intuition so overtime you'll accept them as something you better not go against.

We don't know exactly where AI and genetic enhancement technologies will lead us, but it certainly will not be a bronze age myth that we'll be following.  I envision multiple human species through genetic altercations and AI and nano-tech integration.  I know is sounds far fetched, but look at neurosciences, AI and nano research people are doing now.  It is beyond what we could have ever dreamed of 50 years ago.

It is very strange to me that people actually want to defend these rules.  It is like they close off all their reasoning and want to follow them just because they want to.

And they think they have any moral ground to stand on, unbelievable!!!

Hmm... Is there any correlation to be expected between the number of fags killed and the amount of the reward?

Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds.

Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

A man can be altered (look all the unnormal people). A human who has ancestors that never suffered any disease and who live a decent life, won't spread errors.

I've read the Bible, so lemme break it down for you...

God commands you to kill all the witches, Muslims, and fags

If you are a good little Christian, and kill enough fags, God will reward you in heaven

God does not elaborate on these rewards however, he wants it to be a surprise (unlike the Muslims who know they will get 72 virgins because God said so)

Does that sum up Christianity?

It's the old "carrot and stick" trick... except the carrot is old, rotten and inedible... oops

God could be a game-show host...

So when you get to Heaven you get to roll some dice and what is, is? Seems like a "gamble"  

Would you like to trade this life, for what is behind door number two?

Not God.  God is not real.

Like I said before, I think a new religion of "data processing" will be named sometime in not so distant future.

People already follow this religion but it has not been formally defined yet.

The bronze age religions will be studied by historians, psychologists, neuroscientists  but regular people will stop following these irrational myths.  For the same reason they abandoned other religions of the past.

All of this is part of evolution.

BTW, I think there are many other "religions": capitalism, money, socialism, liberalism, humanism all have similar function as theistic religions.

You just said humanity is perfect, how can the parents not be good enough?

Yes, you're right. In a way or in another, that's God who created everything, except the sins, which all come from the humans.

To af_newbie (I'll stop quoting again and again) : the humanity in general is perfect (at least the unaltered groups). If some people born unfinished, that's their parents who aren't good enough ...

So you don't trust evolution theory. Because evolution theory explains that God didn't create directly humans but that humans comes from evolution of other species.

Religion provided rules for organizing large group of people.

We started to have a soul at the instant where God's created the human.
