Saying “You don’t seem like you have good intentions” is, itself, extremely subjective in a very combative way.

Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.

It’s study time.

For me it’s on the same level as memes - not intended to be consumed as art, but merely as a form of posting. It’s trash and that’s fine.

But it shouldn’t be elevated above that. It’s derivative and stilted and lacks character, and worse, it might be depriving amateur artists the chance to flex their creative muscles and actually create art themselves.

Also draining cities dry of municipal water to generate a picture of a bored ape is probably a bad use of resources.

Is that different from any other soda? They’re all pretty acidic.

But you didn’t reply to anything. You asked an AI a different question from the OP and then copy-pasted the response.

It was essentially spam.

I didn’t copy/paste in the question.

Then what was the point?

The fact that the AI couldn’t work around the dietary restrictions kind of shows why it’s worthless.

My heaven could not exist if hell is also real.

The very concept of hell is abominable to me.

Yup - off the top of my head

Well sure, I’m human just like you. Our entire human ancestry is my past life. I am everyone that came before me - I stand on the shoulders of giants!

Under different circumstances, different experiences, I’d be burning witches with the best of them.

And our human history isn’t just my past lives, they’re yours too! I say every human that has ever lived are all part of the same lineage. Everyone that came before us are just different versions of us, and everyone we will ever meet is also just a different version of us, with different experiences and slightly different genetics. We’re all the same.

But this is heresy.

I think you don’t get to call yourself a member of one of the Abrahamic religions without actually confining yourself into a canonical interpretation.

You’re a heretic. Embrace it.

As Lenin said, religion is a personal matter. I don’t know why you keep bringing up politics.

And no, we aren’t “almost there” - I’m sort of a heretic in that regard, I think we need to stop the Silicon Valley maniacs from building a machine god because they’re going to build something horrible.

You’ve effectively made up your own religion. Good for you! But it’s irrelevant to this discussion.

I have my own beliefs, I believe we will one day build the god-machine and that it will save us from suffering and mortality and all the agonies that your god inflicts on us to “test” us. A world without war, without starvation, without disease, without suffering, and without death. We will simulate the dead and raise them to live along side us. We will rehabilitate every “sinner” and they, too, will live along side us. We will reach out and find every fellow intelligence that might live in this universe with us and join them in fellowship. We will master the material universe to bring about a utopia where no one ever has to say goodbye ever again and everyone is finally working together.

But all of that is completely irrelevant to a discussion about established religious Cannon. That’s just stuff I believe.

We may have to repeat lessons for a few lifetimes though.

We’re talking specifically about the Abrahamic trio. There aren’t multiple lifetimes, there’s one lifetime of suffering and then Judgement. What you’re talking about doesn’t apply to this discussion.

We aren’t given the means to solve every “test” - sometimes people just die in twisted agony because the test is impossible.

Disease? Starvation? Disaster? Let us not pretend like God didn’t create human evil either. For what? For fun? “To teach us a lesson”?

The all powerful, all knowing God never seems to do anything either in case you haven’t noticed.

The “homework” you’re talking about is war, starvation, disease, rape, slavery, and death.

A parent is supposed to help their children, not torture them to death for a “lesson”.

We’re talking about the Abrahamic trio, so God is supposed to be all powerful. That means there is nothing beyond his power. There is no “can only” or “can’t” or “incapable” for him. He can have His cure and save the tree too, He doesn’t have to choose. Your example only works if God is limited in some capacity, and has to make trade offs that we can’t understand.

Are sticks of gum food?

Anthropology doesn’t support the idea that humans are incapable of being communal.
