Where is Humanity Going?

"The Cage" from Star Trek

What is the future of humanity? What will the human race be like 10 years from now? Or 20 years from now? Or 100 years from now? Or 1000 years from now? Where are we heading in the future? And, more importantly, what can we do about it?

Looking towards the future in the Church of Reality is looking in the Sacred Direction. This church is all about where we are going and taking control of our own evolution. We believe in taking responsibility for our future by being realists and using reality to guide us in making important choices so that we can ensure that we grow the Tree of Knowledge and that tomorrow is better than today. We realists commit ourselves to the Principle of Positive Evolution and in order to fulfil that commitment it is our responsibility (The Sacred Responsibility) to look forward at the possibilities and to think things through so that we don't make mistakes that will put us on the Path of Destitution and Destruction. It is up to us to deny Armageddon to the Christians.

Our job as Realists is to make sure that the Christians are denied Armageddon."

The role of the Church of Reality is to ask The Sacred Moral Question - what is good? What is right and wrong in the context of reality. Asking the Sacred Moral Question means more than just asking a question. It really mean to insist that The Sacred Moral Question be answered in the context of what is real and that the moral element be evaluated in terms of The Sacred Principles.

This section is a discussion of some of the issues facing the human race in the near future. Some of the opinions expressed here are the opinions of The First One and are not a declaration of reality. I do not claim to have the power to see the future. The idea here is to introduce ideas in order to create discussion about them and focus our attention in the Sacred Direction. Allow your imagination to be stimulated by what you read here and if you don't agree - that's fine. As long as you are thinking about it.

Newsflash

The God who Wasn't There is a really great film that I highly recommend. I saw an early screening of it at Stanford and I loved it. It goes into the early history of Christianity to determine if the character Jesus ever actually existed. I was surprised to find that much of the Jesus story was already in fiction for hundreds of years before Jesus was supposedly born. This is a documentary of how the Jesus myth was created and how little today's Christians know about the history of their own religion. Here's a really great Trailer for the movie. (18mb Quicktime format)

Most Atheists like myself have generally believed that the story of Jesus was at least based on some real events, some popular preacher that may have really existed and was later turned into a supernatural figure by his followers. But it is becoming clear to me that Jesus is total fiction and the stories are adapted from the fiction of the time. I recommend this film to everyone. It gives you a LOT to think about.
