Deep Christians are the perfect group for grifting, and these evil fucks use that info all the time. It’s like why the “Nigerian Prince” scam is so obvious, it automatically sorts out those that are the easiest dooped, to funnel them into even more money extraction scams.
Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’

The oldest praying automaton we know of is from the 16th Century. This is basically that but with more capitalism.
I can’t help but notice how captured the Christian mind is, when even the return of the Savior is a business opportunity; a revenue stream. These people are already robots who can’t worship without a prospectus and a spread sheet.

There's also prayer wheels going back to the 4th century.

So that’s what those are for? That’s like saying “I don’t need to go running. Look, I can just draw a stick figure in this book, flip the pages, and he runs for me!”

It's religion, the rules are made up. So if a flip book is considered good enough then it's good enough.

The only good that prayer can do is as a mindfulness exercise, and there aren’t any shortcuts for those.

That thing would make me want to start praying if it’s very existence didn’t prove that there was no god.
