spudboy: I´m trying to find a suitable application to draw a tree of the evolution of modern religions. If I have time I will do it.
IMHO, the mere idea of progression and resurection is judeo-christian. The idea of history is a consequence. All the western modern religions are immanentist simplifications of this worldview. Resurection is pervasive in all the western modern religions. either in the form of a collective resurrection after an apocalyptic change on society: Marxism, environmentalism or as an individual resurection such is transhumanism, but also capitalism, where being millonaire is the "transformation" in the hope that all problems are solved with money. The modern can be considered as a christian that can not wait for salvation in the afterlife and at the same time he believe that he deserve it. he need the transformation now, This urgency and auto sanctification is not methaphorical: The history of the first political revolutions are the history of groups with this mentality. Nothing has changed except that the urgency in even higher now. 2014-04-27 23:13 GMT+02:00, [email protected] via Everything List <[email protected]>: > > Alberto, where would you place Cosmism/Transhumanism?
