We already have radical greens espousing the end of civilization and
"back to nature".<br>
Of course they use the internet to organize and communicate their "ism".<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.greenanarchy.org">http://www.greenanarchy.org</a> is one I check out every year or 2.<br>
<br>
However there is perhaps room for some combination of fundamentalists<br>
of various religeons reacting to AI, Total Information Awareness ,
human bioengineering<br>
that endangers the fundamentals of older "theisms" to form a new<br>
Anti-Technology Theism. Of course this would accomplish one good thing<br>
that is uniting diverse religeons into one theism instead of always
fighting each other<br>
over who is more "right with god".<br>
<br>
Perhaps the religeous Armageddon and Christ and Anti-christ might be
portrayed by theisits<br>
as development of a religeous "god's AI" set out to destroy all other
Heathen AI's.????<br>
