Technology to inject competition into religion?

  • A nuclear war could bring the human average down considerably, regardless of genetic or technical advances. It is unlikely we will evolve bomb-proof capabilities.

    Taking the optimistic tack though, increased lifespan will give good people more time to do good, and evil, greedy, sociopathic persons more time to cause pain for others. Which religion can compete most effectively to deal with the latter?

    It is an interesting question, but in the final analysis, whether we live 20 years, 50 years, or 100 years, moral choices are presented every day to everyone. If we are working from the wrong moral template, the world may be one in which most people are not thankful for the extra years they are able to live (endure).
