The ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God needs their help for his plans.
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.
It is their divine duty to do the things they already wanted to do and say it was for Jesus.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

Man, when Berry Goldwater thinks that’s a problem…
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?”
Because “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.
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.
And don’t forget money! God needs millions of dollars to turn into his will! God’s will is surprisingly dependent on cash donations.
Well he did only work 6 days in his life
He missed this commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”

Hastening the coming? He needs to reread the bible then.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” - Matthew 24:36
If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.
I was brought up Catholic. The Dominican brothers taught me to think critically. Now I’m not a Catholic, or any kind of Christian, anymore.
And for the fractally schismatic fundamentalist Protestants, they stopped adhering to a Christian belief system over a century ago. Very little that they believe has any connection to Christianity, and most of it contradicts core beliefs. For them, it’s just a tribal identity. “We’re the chosen people and everyone else is wrong.”
They think that they can force God’s hand. They’re that arrogant.
Anyway, the whole fundie end-times narrative is late 19th-century fanfic. It not only contradicts their scriptures, it’s also incoherent and badly written. At least Dante, when he made things up, was consistent with the core beliefs, as well as his work being far better-written and more coherent than the source literature. But the Rapture is just the rantings of tent-show shysters. Even bronze-age shepherds did better.
this sexbot needs Jesus!
An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s returnAn ex-intel CEO’s idea to make money by combining two money making tools
Tech billionaires will totally destroy us all.
I don’t care what the bible says
I feel like we’re forgetting that this is the apocalypse. He wants to start the apocalypse.
Never forget that Christians think that the apocalypse is a good thing.
That’s because their lives are so shitty that they want to end them, but they’re too scared of hellfire to call it suicide.
I don’t believe in thier imaginary God. And I won’t worship thier Robot one.
Fuck yeah, LLMs for the LLM god! All hail the hallowed datacenter! Sacrifice the DNS!
Wow, no wonder he failed.
“Hi there! It looks like you’re trying to summon Jeebus!” --Fundy Clippy
Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.
This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.
Good, maybe this will somehow force Christians to actually act like Christ wanted them to.
These are conservatives. They won’t tolerate a woke AI.
Like members of his apocalyptic death cult?
