None of this seems cruxy to me—I could grant that all of your claims here are true and it wouldn’t much affect my argument. I’m not advocating that everyone abandon their church communities and throw out their bibles.
Don’t these religions (the large incumbent ones of the western world) need to reform in light of new opportunities and challenges of the 21st century? (Not least of all anti-aging, gene editing, space colonization, psychedelic research, neuroscience, and powerful AI).
