Transhumanist Jesus is the third drawing of Jesus of Nazareth in a series of four. Each one with a little bit of a twist. This one is done in pen and ink and is protected by a recycled traditional frame and glass. I decided to do these pieces over anger of the Texas GOPs enactment of the draconian anti-abortion law. I have three adult daughters and while they might not agree on whether it is right or wrong to get an abortion, they all agree that it is “their right” to choose. And I agree with them. So that is how the project started out, but it morphed into something a little different. Did you know that there are at least 10,000 different denominations of Christianity in the world? Of course, some say this number is much higher, but I figure 10,000 is a safe estimate. Knowing this I thought why not make up my own Jesus?! A lot of other people have. So, I did. And what I came up with was a tough but accepting LGBT SiFi Jesus. A Jesus that store would assimilate all other Jesuses, even Republican Jesus, into a hive mind and create an accepting and loving collective for all people and all religions. In Star Trek, the Borg are considered the enemy but, in my version, I have turned it around and made “Jesus of Borg” the good guy, the savior. I named this one after reading the book by Ronald Cole-Turner called Transhumanism and Transcendence. It is an interesting look at how Christianity will have to change to keep pace with "Biotech" or risk the fate of all previous mythologies that have become nothing more than footnotes in ancient history.
