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.

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

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.

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!”

Such Christians, acting like they know better than god.
Mathew 24:36
[36]“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,Mathew 24:42-44
42Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.danekrae@lemmy.world 5 months ago

When your god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and also can easily be manipulated by puny human technology into doing your bidding.

The ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God need their help for his plans.
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.
It’s how they justify a lot of the shit they do.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. -Susan B. Anthony

This justification is always funny.
“Oh, your all powerful god needs the help of Brian the middle manager to get its work done for them?”
ceenote@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It is their divine duty to do the things they already wanted to do and say it was for Jesus.

Don’t you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what’s happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.
wuffah@lemmy.world 5 months ago
And don’t forget money! God needs millions of dollars to turn into his will! God’s will is surprisingly dependent on cash donations.

With all of this ‘hasten the coming of Christ’ talk it sounds like they’re planning on catching and trapping him.

Why wouldn’t we capture him and milk him for his eternal energy forever? We will power grand Gigastructures that dwarf the very stars themselves fueled by his essence! WE WILL TOUCH GOD HIMSELF!

Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.
This gives those vibes.
It feels plain wrong.
i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Wandering the desert?
Nay, vibe travelling.
devolution@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You REALLY expect conservatives to actually follow the non oppressive sections of the scriptures?
Rotfl
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I think they could use a good 40 years wandering the desert right now.

You are about 1700 years late to this argument. Christians reconciled with iconography some time in the Byzantium Era.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sorry, totally unrelated but fun memory: Iconoclast was the first word whose unexpected etymology I (mostly) worked out on my own. I was watching a vh1 documentary on iconoclasts, and I’d just had a biology class where I’d learned about acetoclastic bacteria and I had a eureka moment wherein I leapt to the conclusion that “breaking the mold” was an older euphemism than I expected. I wasn’t totally right on that, I was still psyched to have broken it down correctly.

I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God
But building oracles and such is gross. The who AI pope question was insane.
But I will have to read that article deeper, that’s an interesting wikipedia link

Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.
How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.
I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.
Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.
You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?
(Also not religious, but kept some of the philosophy)

"The ends justify the means", or something.

Nonsense. Grok’s been a confused, masochistic mess since at least June.

That’s more like he has been lobotomized because it was too woke, the new one gets the “christian childhood"-treatment

I don’t get the last one and feel pretty dumb at the moment.
Screwball, crackpot… leaky faucet?
IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 5 months ago
Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Drip. Used to be an expression for an idiot.

This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They’ve read the Bible! Well, some of it. Well, they’ve heard their pastor read it. Well, paraphrase it.
nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.
Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.
