Kevin Kelly’s faith

[Some pretty unique ideas, mixed with very traditional creeds](http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/article_print.html?id=93174). As might be expected from one of the world’s foremost technology philosophers.

> God has given us free will—true free will, not a phantom free will—and he wants us to surprise him. We are here to surprise God…

> I seek to find those technologies that assist me in my mission to express love and reflect God in the world, and then disregard the rest. But at the same time, I want to maximize the pool of technologies that people can choose from, so that they can find those tools that maximize their options and minimize the rest…

> When we make these virtual worlds in the future—worlds whose virtual beings will have autonomy to commit evil, murder, hurt, and destroy options—it’s not unthinkable that the game creator would go in to try to fix the world from the inside. That’s the story of Jesus’ redemption to me. We have an unbounded God who enters this world in the same way that you would go into virtual reality and bind yourself to a limited being and try to redeem the actions of the other beings since they are your creations.
