What is so superior about "your technology?" Has technology saved us from ourselves? Do you think it will? Is that what Jesus was interested in? Jesus spoke to what binds us together in God, which is the Source of life. What use does technology have?
If your remember, Jesus was pretty radical for that period and he was anti-establishment as noted in his discussions with the Pharasees. His ideas of God were radically different than held by a lot of people then. I just think there are a lot of assumptions in your argument. Peace, MH
