There’s a rather uncommon theological position—espoused by Paolo Soleri (and perhaps by others) - that God, the rapture, etc. are better regarded as a potential future, as something we have a responsibility to create, than as something pre-existing; in this view, religious texts can be viewed as imperfect but still visionary accounts of what such a thing might look like. The Singularity hypothesis seems to fit better in this model of religion than in more mainstream models. Soleri’s theology seems far less pathological than religions tend to be, since it calls for both concrete action and accurate models of reality, so maybe this isn’t such a bad thing.
