    And I didn’t think I could loathe religion, and those weak willed enough to need it, more. Thanks Patrick, you superstitious cunt!

    Having to reach waaay back into the memories of my Christian upbringing here, but I seem to recall that God doesn’t like people who try to game the system

    I think I understand skynet now. It must have been a Christian AI and decided it would bring upon the rapture, and no one was worthy.

    Christian fundamentalists in charge of finding new exciting ways to kill themselves and take everyone else with them in the process.

      Did you guys see that AI generated drone show in the sky? Those libtards must be getting super afraid to stoop that low. Hey! Jon! Did you make sure the food bank in that black neighborhood had their deliveries diverted to the dump?

    This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.

    According to the Bible, the end times will come when God’s good and ready. It’s blaspemous and extremely narcissistic to think that any human action can force God to hurry up.

      More than that, most of the old testament is stories about how you don’t debate God, you don’t test God, and you definitely don’t force God’s hand.

      Honestly, this Intel guy is cute compared to the Christian Zionists, who somehow think God wants and will be happy with their attempts to manufacture prophecy.

    Why are the American religious right so fixated on the rapture? It’s a death cult sprawling across the nation like a cancer.

      Because it gives them the ability to let themselves off the hook for participating in the destruction of the planet.

      These people think they’re in the end times because the world is in a garbage fire state, that they probably helped cause, and now they want out instead of doing literally anything else, including just not making it worse.

      Because they think they will go to heaven. If I read the Bible I’d say they wouldn’t.
