The Milieu

Book excerpt: Utopia or Dystopia? Shangri-La or purgatory? Paradise or perdition? What future truly awaits mankind on the other side of widespread human enhancement? With breakthrough advances in transhumanistic science and technology at an all-time high, it appears that people of all ages, backgrounds, and world cultures are lining up to embrace the alteration and augmentation of the human race. Remaining as the mere Homo sapiens that God designed is no longer satisfactory as we race toward the human-animal chimeric and human-machine hybrid era--a point of no return. For many, these transhuman concepts paint bright and glorious tomorrows filled with higher efficiency, ease, and convenience for our world. For others, the notion of irreversibly changing what it is to be human and the potential spiritual and biological repercussions that holds for the earth's dominant species is, understandably, terrifying. In The Milieu: Welcome to the Transhuman Resistance, you will learn: *The purpose and importance of the resistance group known as the Milieu *Why it's important for the Church to be involved in the discussion about transhumanism *The glaring, spiritual symbolism of the transhuman worldview, and how the Promethean Faith (a.k.a., Religion of Man) is far more a religion than its disciples openly acknowledge *What is driving the 'Christian Transhuman" movement *What methods are currently being used to gradually indoctrinate Church and society with utopian transhuman concepts *Why going from "flawed man" to "enhanced beast" doesn't solve humanity's dilemmas and only serves to reveal deeply-rooted philosophical challenges *The link between artificial intelligence and the image of the Beast from Revelation *Why a pro-transhuman "Milieu" group is forming at the Vatican right now, and what plans they have in mind for humanity's future *How nanotechnology existing at this moment will soon allow for human-robot offspring--and why that might be the very technology that ushers in the Antichrist. *PLUS!--Two chapters from Thomas and Nita Horn's Forbidden Gates discussing the coming Hell Scenario and the spiritual warfare ramifications of merging man with beast or machine.
