AI's Take On Religious Hypocrisy...

Re: AI Affirms The Necessity Of God...!

@timewerx,
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction,

and there are many who go in by it.​

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matt. 7:13-14 NKJV

You cannot expect Christianity to be modeled by the masses.

Re: AI Affirms The Necessity Of God...!

The OP shows that an objective, natural resource can affirm evidence for a Creator God. (It is unable to enter into a relationship with Him, however.)
Just as a technical printing press can convey the Word of God, AI can acknowledge God within the constraints given in the OP.

It is the technical equivalent of,
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead,..." Romans 1:20 NKJV

Your observations (about religious human behavior) are affirmations of Matthew 7:13-14 & 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

Apples & oranges.

 

[Sabertooth]

My observation that is supported by statistics is that religion seems to make things worse - make people become more distant from Christ in nature. Essentially more evil in nature.

Quite ironically, Christianity is no exception. The flow of discussion with AI changed once I made it aware of these statistics.

How does that not affirm 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and Matthew 7:13-14?

 

[Sabertooth]

So if the most Christian nations are consistently dramatically more morally corrupt than non-religious nations, would you agree their version of Christianity is false and is more like the Pharisees in the way they run things?

I would say that you cannot judge sheep based on the behaviors of wolves in sheep's clothing.

 

[Sabertooth]

Are you sure you're reading my post right? I didn't say such thing.

It looks like you are naively accepting the sheephood of every self-declared "sheep."
Jesus said [in Matt. 7:15-20],
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Ironically, the least religious nations in the world are the most progressive in effectively dealing with poverty (Sheep vs Goats) and exposing corruption (exposing the works of evil). Consequently, they have the least corruption in their governments as well. They are doing the core teachings of Jesus that the highly Christian nations fail to accomplish or even trying to avoid!

They still have enough sin to be disqualified from Heaven (until they are Born Again).

[Sabertooth]

Yes, many non-religious people are still sinful but their judgement won't be as worse as those who knew.

Even if there were different levels in Hell, I am sure they would be moot.

I hope that we don't just give praises to AI when it agrees with our doctrines and then dismiss it when disagrees.

1. If even a soulless machine can suss out the necessity of God, any subsequent human denial is just being obtuse.
2. I am not defending hypocritical behavior, but the fix for that is not more works-based salvation, obviously.
3. There is no such thing as a "Christian" nation, so holding such up as a [bad] example is a straw man.

 

[Sabertooth]

...it's now the majority religion in the world.

I am skeptical that it is a majority. I can believe it is the plurality, however.

 

[Sabertooth]

Re: AI Affirms The Necessity Of God...!

32% is a plurality, not a majority. That does not take into account the "Tares," the "wolves in sheep's clothing" and the "Lord, Lord..." crowd.

 

[Sabertooth]

How much Tares would it take to make you concerned, 20%, 50%, 75%, 99.99%?

My point still stands even without knowing those numbers.
