"You are a Toaster": An Analysis on the Categorization of The Human

In The Beginning...

This project sets out to critically analyze the category of "the human" as it applies to the study of religion. I look at two sets of data, The Reimagined Battlestar Galactica series and the Mormon Transhumanist Association to answer the question: Is "the human" a unique category in the study of religion? If so, how are we as scholars to analyze it? If not, then what?

To discuss what the human is or is not, I began with studying what I believed was not human: machine.

Only, I encountered a serious ideological dilemma: If the machine is not human, what happens when the machine appears more human than the humans around it?

Answering this question led me down the rabbit-hole that is posthumanism.
