All we needed on Planet earth was the start of yet another cult.
Transhumanism (H+ or h+) is the philosophical belief that mankind should evolve beyond his current physical and mental limitations through science and technology. Some crynocists, futurists, and anti-aging gurus are among its activists. Among its adherents is the well-known gay billionaire and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, who spoke in support of Donald Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
The largest Transhumanism Church (its symbol a fiery phoenix) was founded by Bill Faloon and Saul Kent in Hollywood, FL. It is called the, Church of Perpetual Life. Though this so-called "church" has a congregation, a minister, and numerous other activities, its worship is not centered upon God, but how to defeat pain, suffering, and even death through science and technology. In 2014 the church sent out an invitation to join them in a ritual called the Remembrance of the Resurrectables. This was a ceremony to celebrate those who had decided to have their bodies cryogenically preserved after their death, in hopes that science and technology will continue to evolve and some day allow them to be resurrected.
