When Biohackers Become Believers: The Faith of Eternal Metrics

In a world where tech seems to outpace tradition, millionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson is stirring the pot by launching a new religion. Yes, you heard that right. Johnson’s “Don’t Die” movement is less about faith and more about data, performance metrics, and tracking every bodily function like it’s a new app on your phone. Think of it as Silicon Valley meets your local church, with commandments that include everything from measuring blood pressure to bedtime by 8 p.m. Is eternal life just a software update away?

Meanwhile, the rising tide of Christian Transhumanism aims to intertwine these biohacking concepts with traditional Christian beliefs. Instead of spiritual salvation, they’re preaching salvation through tech enhancements and genetic modification. With Jesus’s miracles now seen through the lens of biotechnology, we’re led to ponder: Is dying just a bug in the grand software of life? Traditionalists may be shaking their heads, but there’s undeniably a pull toward this high-tech utopian vision.

What does all this mean for faith? It seems the line between spirituality and science is blurring, with some arguing that churches are becoming glorified laboratories for the next big tech breakthrough. Who needs divine intervention when you can turn to biotech for a little help on the eternal life front? As we march toward this tech-powered future, one thing is clear—these ideas might just have us asking ourselves how much we’re willing to modify our beliefs in the pursuit of immortality. Would you join the biohacker’s church, or do you think there’s value in honoring more traditional views?
