The Cult of the Machine

SEE HERE I'm not sure it is entirely fair to blame our blighted culture on the rise of technology. It's a tempting premise, but I think more to the point is the secularization and denial of spiritual realities. Man is not just the most evolved mammal, he is more than that. Man is made in the image and likeness of God and when he rises to the challenge of his nature he is a manifestation of the divine, and when he falls to the basest pit of his appetites he is more like a demon and serves only himself and his lower urges. In between man is confused. Our technology can be in service of both our highest and our lowest natures for technology is indifferent. It is all what you make of it.
