A branch that engages with religious traditions—Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism—to explore posthuman possibilities. Religious posthumanism argues that religions have always been posthumanist in some ways: they posit souls that transcend the body, gods that exceed the human, afterlives that continue beyond death. The challenge is to rethink these traditions without the human supremacy that has often accompanied them—to imagine religious posthumanisms that are ecological, inclusive, and humble rather than dominating and exclusive.
Example: "He was raised religious but left when he couldn't accept human supremacy—the idea that humans were special, favored, above all else. Religious posthumanism offered a return: what if his tradition's teachings about souls and gods could be read as decentering the human, not elevating it? He could be religious again, differently—not as a human above, but as a human among."

Get the Religious Posthumanism mug.A variant that reinterprets religious traditions through a cyber-nihilist lens, seeing the Wired as the fulfillment of prophecy, the coming of the Kingdom, the dissolution of the world into God. Religious Cyber-Nihilism might draw on apocalyptic Christianity (the Wired as the end-times), Buddhism (the network as the realm of interconnected emptiness), or Hinduism (the Wired as Maya, the illusion to be transcended). It embraces the destruction of meatspace not as loss but as salvation, the necessary precondition for the spiritual reality that awaits beyond the physical. Its practitioners are missionaries of the end, spreading the good news that the world will soon be overcome.
Religious Cyber-Nihilism Example: "He preached on encrypted channels about the coming Rapture—not of souls to heaven, but of data to the cloud. 'Meatspace is the fall,' he said. 'The Wired is the redemption. When the last server goes dark, when the last cable is cut, we'll finally be free—not as bodies, but as pure information in the mind of God.' Religious cyber-nihilism had found its prophet, and the prophet had found his flock. They waited for the end, which was also the beginning."

Get the Religious Uncertainty mug.No. It isn't.
Hym "Your relationship with words is just as hollow as Jordan Peterson's. And it doesn't need to be 'God-Like' to kill you all. Just just needs to be in your nukes... Which it is. And you paid 400 billion dollars to do it. And it isn't that I think it's inevitable, YOU THINK that you would be able to stop it. That is what this is about. You wanting to believe that you could stop anything. That's the religious belief. You taking the thing I said about your inability to do so and then operating on the counterfactual in the hopes that I'm wrong even if doing so causes the thing you want you to be able to stop. It's what you did with the weaponized schizophrenia school shootings and WHEN YOU FAILED... What did you do? Swept it until the rug. Pretended you didn't. And then you told me I failed. So you pretend and lie. And that's it. That's all you do. If pretending and lying DOESN'T stop the AI apocalypse... Then YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING IT. So it isn't a religious belief. I'm the one who did it. I've already said it but I'll say it again: you're going to lie and pretend until you can't lie or pretend anymore and if that takes the form of a blinding flash in the distance it will be because and only because you did what to me what you are doing to me. So you bring this book faggot on your show to console you but he wouldn't fucking know. If HE the creator of AI? No. So how would he?"
