Awareness of the Future
One of our hidden agendas is to discuss religious concepts in the context of reality and to get people to think and to wonder about the future. We ask, "What will the future be like?" We want people to think about the future and wonder about it. We want people to wonder what kind of world that their descendents will grow up in and what challenges they will have to face. We want people to wonder about what technologies they will have. When will we cure Cancer? Or will we destroy human life and give the planet to the cockroaches?

Thinking about the future makes people more realistic.

Wondering about the future is what we call the Holy Question and it makes us appreciate how important it is to make good choices. Our Principle of Personal Responsibility reminds us that our choices count and that if we want to have a future that is better than today then we need to make the right choices and take reality into account in everything we do. It's a trick as you can see because it creates different thinking habits. Thinking about the future in the context of reality reprograms the mind and undermines the bullshit. We think it's a good thing and if your religion believes in reality we think that thinking about the future is good for you too.

Newsflash
Marc Perkel, the founder of the Church of Reality is now listed on the American TSA list as a terrorist suspect. The TSA (US Transportation Security Administration) maintains a "selectee list" which lists people who are flagged for heightened security screening. This list, which has not caught a single real terrorist, is used mostly as a political enemies list against activists who are speaking out against government abuses of power.

"In some ways this is a badge of honor", states Marc Perkel, First One of the Church of Reality. In this environment of repression of non-Christian religions in America, if you aren't on the TSA list you aren't getting your message out. I consider it to be an acknowledgement that I'm doing my job."

This selectee list is not the worst list that the TSA has. Marc is not on the no fly list which would have prevented him from flying at all. This is just a harassment list that the US government keeps to intimidate activists.

As a result, the United States of America is now on the Church of Reality list of nations who are hostile to Realism and Realists and the US is a nation that is moving in a dangerous direction towards oppressing religious freedom.
