Re:When AI Is Your Pastor: Benchmark for Theological Triage ... by bwestergard on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:56PM (#48575043)
I could only laugh out loud at this.

I'm no expert in European religious history, but it is an interest of mine and I've read a fair bit more than the typical American about it.

I am certain that every church father and major theologian from antiquity to the early modern period would have condemned without reservation the very idea of building a machine to answer theological questions. Possible exceptions, like Ramon Llull, prove the rule.

Given the prevalence of stories about Djinn and Golems in Islamic and Jewish literature, it feels safe to say they would have looked askance at this idea as well.
