POSITRONIC THEOLOGY

I must say that of all the wants in the world none would be stranger or greater than positronic(Isaac Asimov) theology .. better yet the machines want for a belief system or a deity. None would be more interesting( well maybe some things) .... though this may be just a wishful dream considering that none of our machines(so far) have achieved full consciousness ( morals , beliefs , etc). So my overall fascination is what it would be like to live in a world in which our servants ,our grunts of the world ,achieve what helps most of us humans deal with the troubles of life. But what does a machine need the escapism of religion for .. what do they need the good warm feeling of avoiding "Eternal Damnation" for ,when they cant be damned because they dont have a soul............. or do they . Oh.. I remeber now i left one important thing out of this conversation.. "The Ghost In the Machine" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_machine )... if machines can posess this along with the advanced knowledge and capabilities we already possess i believe it would eb a sight to see. But thats just wishful thinking ; ) ^_^
