Comment on Jesus, help me! - No!

the feed is full of those AI Jesus pictures like this and thousands of comments saying “Amen”.

I’m worried. Should I be worried?

2000+ years ago, literature didn’t exist in the way it does today. A book was only writable/readable to those that were literate, whom were in the overwhelming minority. I can appreciate how such an incomprehensible thing, said to contain the very word of god, might be considered practically magic in its own right. Today, all that’s demystified mostly because nearly all of us understand that writing is just a form of technology as small children.

Now, we have a brand new incomprehensible thing that can churn out religious iconography with the push of a button.
