derangerI don’t get the last one and feel pretty dumb at the moment.
Screwball, crackpot… leaky faucet?
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”.
*Ya know, i was god once…
Yes, i saw. You were doing well until everyone died.*

UnderpantsWeevilNonsense. Grok’s been a confused, masochistic mess since at least June.
RhaedasRemember 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.
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)
There’s a lot of good Christian teachings that just make the world better regardless of your fear of eternal punishment or any god.
While outside my education I’m sure most religions too, but too many people get caught up in casting out others, or hating the non believers, or doling out punishments they have no right to.
Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made
You are about 1700 years late to this argument. Christians reconciled with iconography some time in the Byzantium Era.
strozAh. Hence the age old adage: “Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got”.
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

What about Catholics praying to little figurines of saints? Because that’s been going on for a long time
You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That’s what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)
I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It’s a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.
But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they’re told and doing whatever the hell they like… “This statue cried blood, let’s pray to it!” (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)
But building oracles and such is gross.
You’re talking about a religion whose entire foundation is built on saints and prophets. The whole Jesus story is a big deal because it is fulfillment of prophecy.
The who AI pope question was insane.
It’s certainly heretical to the Catholic Church. But fits comfortably in a bunch of New Age and Technocratic Futurist Protestant understands of their faith.
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.
DevolutionYou REALLY expect conservatives to actually follow the non oppressive sections of the scriptures?

I think they could use a good 40 years wandering the desert right now.
I prefer the flood. Without an ark.
potoooooooo ✅️She-bears.
Scorpions need to eat. I don’t see a downside.
Wandering the desert?
Nay, vibe travelling.
veeeWith all of this ‘hasten the coming of Christ’ talk it sounds like they’re planning on catching and trapping him.

skulblakaThe ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God need their help for his plans.
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.
Well he did only work 6 days in his life
setVeryLoud(true);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.
garretbleThis justification is always funny.
“Oh, your all powerful god needs the help of Brian the middle manager to get its work done for them?”
CorkyskogBecause “God” works through us, imperfect tools, etc. The real question is why does anything we do matter if we are all just part of gods plan?
The answer to that is to do what God said to do to hasten his coming: spread the gospel. Not ban abortions, arrest gay people, criminalize trans people. Spread the gospel. Anything else is them using religion as an excuse to promote their opinions. I realize a lot of people here recognize that, but I still think it needs to be said.

Avid AmoebaWe’re so fucked.
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.
I for one welcome our Lord and saviour Jesus ChrAIst
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.
