The following is based on Dawn Chan’s article, “The Immortality Upgrade,” New Yorker, April 20, 2016 AD.
In April 7, 1844 AD Mormonism founder Joseph Smith stated, “God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!” He noted that “That is the great secret” and that “You have got to learn how to be gods yourselves…the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one; from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead.”
Fifth president of Mormonism, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Lorenzo Snow, succinctly stated, “As God now is, man may be.”
This goes to show a few things including that these men were not Christians, not adherents of the Bible, were false prophets and promulgated literally Satanic concepts. The original rebellion took place within the mind of Satan when he thought to himself, “I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:14) and he then took this rebellious concept, as it implies being “like” God in the manner of usurpation, and introduced it to Eve, “ye shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5). Mormonism is merely a structured form of Satanism.
It is noted that “Many transhumanists, Huxley included, have rejected traditional religion” and, of course, so did Joseph Smith who was a practicing occultist (which is how he “translated” the Book of Mormon: if any such a thing ever even happened). Smith also claimed that God himself told him the following when Smith asked God which Christian denomination he should, “join none of them” because “they were all wrong…all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt” (Pearl of Great Price – Joseph Smith – History – 2:18-20, emphasis added for emphasis), see Mormonism is an Offensive Religion.
Rejection of Christianity, Satanism and a blatant rejection of the Bible’s theology: this is that which our culture calls a “Christian denomination” and Transhumanists look to as comrades.
The main goal of “tech-minded futurists” and “seers from non-religious worlds” is that they “believed that humans would become as powerful as gods—whether via bionic limbs, alterations in our DNA, or computer-assisted superintelligence.”
Clearly, Mormon transhumanism is a cult. Well, Dawn Chan writes, “Those who would call the Mormon transhumanists a cult face a major hurdle, which is that none of them ever seem to agree on anything.” Well, if they are Mormons and transhumanists and “Mormon transhumanists” then they agree on much and begin with the occult cult premise that, in one way or another, they will become gods.
To show just how flawed their theology is (as if seeking godhood is not enough) it is noted that “They reflect a belief that God and his works are subject to natural law.” Wait, “They” plural? I thought that “none of them ever seem to agree on anything.” Anyhow, if both “God and his works are subject to natural law” then God is subject to natural law and thus, the natural law is God’s god which would make natural law God.
Christopher Bradford is the VP of one of Mormonism’s main website for ascertaining their geneology (which they trace in order to conduct baptisms for the dead by proxy) and president of the Mormon Transhumanism Association noted, “Mormonism doesn’t see creation as a magical creation from nothing.” Well, his utter despising of biblical and thus traditional Jewish and Christian theology is dripping off of his statement. The Bible and thus traditional Jewish and Christian theology hold that creation was from nothing (ex nihilo) but not “a magical creation”: for example, “By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible” (Hebrews 11:3).
Mormonism’s god had parents and they had parents and they had parents and so Joseph Smith created an infinite regression of gods. This is why they do not “see creation as a magical creation from nothing” since that would end, or begin, Smith’s infinite regress which would not make it infinite but finite.
To show Cannon’s mindset, he was very effected by his dad’s passing from cancer. He wrote the following in his 1995 AD diary, “How will the resurrection come to pass? I don’t know for sure, but I believe that God won’t do for us what we can do for ourselves.” He believes that God will not do for us what we can do for ourselves even though the entire premise behind the Bible’s anthropology, as it were, is that God will resurrect each and every person who has ever died.
