Religious & Technological Transcendence

The key to it all is transcendence. The promise of transcending
nature, our bodies, our human natures, our lives, our deaths, our
history, etc. is a fundamental part of religion which is often not
explicitly recognized. This goes well beyond the common fear of death
and desire to overcome it and results in a negation of all we are in an
effort to become something else entirely.
For a thousand years in Western culture, the advancement of the
mechanical arts — technology — has been inspired by deep religious
desires of transcendence and redemption. Although currently obscured by
secular language and ideology, the contemporary resurgence of religion,
even fundamentalism, alongside and hand-in-hand with technology is thus
not an aberration but simply the reassertion of a forgotten tradition.
If you don't recognize and understand how religious and technological
transcendence have developed together, you'll never be able to
successfully counter them — much less recognize when they might be
developing within you as well.

Interesting article. We live to see the fulfilment of much that is mentioned in the bible. God has allowed things to develope, technology, so that the gospel can go forth and be preached in the airwaves, the internet, media, radio, television. We are blessed to see and hear so much that those before us never had the chance to.
Yes, the two do merge together! Blessings.
