Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Sam Altman, and the conversation turned troubling almost at once. Less than ten minutes in, Carlson asked a deceptively simple question: Who decides what shapes ChatGPT’s moral compass? Altman leaned forward, flashed that strange default smile, and launched into his script about philosophers and ethicists, about people who supposedly think deeply about technology and society. He said a lot. But not once did the word “religion” cross his lips. Not once did he nod to two thousand years of Christian thought. For anyone paying attention, the silence spoke volumes.
And it was no accident. This is how Silicon Valley operates. When pressed on questions of right and wrong, they summon the same circle of secular experts, applaud themselves for diversity of thought, and call it wisdom. All the while, the oldest moral framework humanity has ever known is written out.
The stakes are anything but abstract. ChatGPT and systems like it are not neutral instruments. They do not sit passively like scissors or calculators. They talk. They advise. They explain. They shape how millions of people think. Every day, users ask them about relationships, about work, about morality itself. These machines have become something more than tools. They are teachers, preachers, advisors, even accomplices to murder. They are shaping worldviews sentence by sentence, answer by answer.
And what kind of worldview takes root when Christian thought is absent from the code? A bleak one. A mechanical one. A vision of life where human beings are reduced to units of utility, where morality is a calculation, and dignity is optional. Without Christian foundations, these systems drift into relativism, where every value carries the same weight, where people are treated as nothing more than biological machines. It is a worldview that denies not only God but the soul itself.
