More and More Christians Say AI Is Demonic

A growing subset of the Christian world is claiming that the technology is quite literally demonic.

In a recent Medium blog post, self-proclaimed "biblical Christian author" and regular AI user Zack Duncan suggested that an image generator's cartoonish outputs regarding Satan may be the result of some demonic influence.

"I’ve seen a trend of weird results when it comes to image requests for certain parts of the Bible. Specifically, the parts of the Bible where satan suffers defeat," the author wrote. "It’s almost as if the AI seemingly can’t (won’t?) generate the kinds of images that I’m looking for."

As examples, Duncan included images from Microsoft's Bing image creator to illustrate that AI is, as he puts it, "minimizing the 'bad PR' for Satan."

Duncan insists that its odd Luciferian outputs are evidence of some sort of conspiracy — and not, as he noted earlier, that AI behaves in nonsensical ways that its creators can't parse because they don't really know how it works to begin with.

Things take a decidedly darker turn on the more fire-and-brimstone corners of the Christian blogosphere. As flagged by Roll to Disbelieve, a blog that takes a skeptical look at the weirder aspects of modern Christianity, more and more of that ilk have begun to profess a belief that AI is some sort of conduit for bad demonic vibes.

"The world is riddled with spiritual powers, the majority of which seem to have rebelled against the Lord," English pastor and blogger Tim Suffield wrote on his blog. "If the air is full of demons who hate you, why wouldn’t AI be?"

Poor Christians can't take a break from demonic powers because if they go away from their computers and turn on the TV, then it's the demons in the form of gay people who are out to get them.

Why are Christians attacking Chip and Joanna Gaines? Their new show has sparked outrage

Few couples on television are as beloved as Chip and Joanna Gaines, but it might not look like it on social media right now because folks are going after them.

Specifically, conservative Christians have targeted the couple on X, and Chip has been responding.

It turns out, the “Fixer Upper” stars have drawn criticism for casting a gay couple in their new show called “Back to the Frontier.”

The show follows three families in the Canadian Rockies as they work their way through the summer without technology. The newspaper said the show is “meant to mimic the lifestyle of 1880s homesteaders.”

One of the couples, per the Morning News, is Dallas’ Joe Riggs and Jason Hanna, who are set up in a 600-square-foot cabin with their 10-year-old twin sons, Ethan and Lucas. They are slated to stay in the cabin for eight weeks.

And that was enough to trigger folks.

“I hope this isn’t true,” Franklin Graham wrote on X.

“While we are to love people, we should love them enough to tell them the truth of God’s Word,” he continued. “His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman. Promoting something that God defines as sin is in itself sin.”

“This is sad and disappointing, because Chip and Joanna Gaines have been very influential in the evangelical community,” the American Family Association posted on X. “Moreover, in the past, they have stood firm on the sanctity of marriage regardless of the personal cost that has entailed. We aren’t sure why the Gaines have reversed course, but we are sure of this: Back to the Frontier promotes an unbiblical view of human sexuality, marriage and family — a view no Christian should embrace.”

“FRANKLIN GRAHAM: God hates Chip and Joanna Gaines for recognizing that gay people exist and for their war on traditional marriage,” Dr. Kevin M. Young wrote on X. “ALSO FRANKLIN GRAHAM: Donald Trump is a model Christian, does God’s will, and Christians must support him no matter what.”

Iranian official claims Israel used 'the occult and supernatural spirits' during 12-day war

A senior Iranian official claims that Israel deployed "the occult and supernatural spirits" during its war with Iran, Iran International reported on Friday.

Abdollah Ganji, former editor of the IRGC-linked newspaper Javan, told his 150,000 followers on X/Twitter on Wednesday that a “strange phenomenon” had taken place during the 12-day war.

"After the recent war, a few sheets of paper were found on the streets of Tehran containing talismans with Jewish symbols," he wrote. "In the first year of the Gaza war, news had also leaked about Netanyahu meeting with occult specialists.

"A few years ago, the Supreme Leader had stated that hostile countries and Western and Hebrew intelligence services use occult sciences and jinn entities for espionage."

Jinn are also said to have the capability of assuming different forms and exercising extraordinary powers.

They were first mentioned in the Quran and are conceptualized in Islam as creatures parallel to human beings who are capable of choosing between good and evil and must thus face eventual salvation or damnation.

"The world will end because there is not enough space on the wall for pedo-featuring medallions."

Why the popes’ mosaics spark end-of-the-world fears

At Rome’s Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, the awaited arrival of Pope Leo XIV’s mosaic is sparking fresh fascination — and for some, old superstitions. As artisans prepare the golden medallion to join the long line of papal portraits above the nave, a familiar question reappears: What happens when there’s no more room?

These medallions — called tondi — encircle the church’s interior like a visual history of apostolic succession. But the sequence also fuels a curious legend: When all the empty spaces are filled, the world will end.

The legend has circulated for decades, if not centuries, drawing attention each time a new pope is elected. It gained momentum after the 1823 fire that destroyed much of the basilica, and the images.

With Leo XIV, the 267th pope, the basilica grows a bit closer to its architectural limit (though as tourists who have heard the legend might be surprised to find -- there are dozens of spaces still available).

Some visitors still quietly wonder: Will there eventually be no more room? And if there isn't?

So can someone explain how running out of space ends the world... what's the mechanism?

[Mister Agenda]

The last space has a secret button that radios God's answering machine that it's time. It's not known how often He checks His machine, so the world may not end immediately.

Are Labubus Dolls Demonic or Evil?



A wave of online speculation has turned a once-whimsical toy into the centre of a viral debate. In June 2025, social media lit up with claims that Labubu dolls were linked to demonic figures.

The dolls, produced by Hong Kong-based brand Pop Mart, became unexpectedly associated with Pazuzu, a Mesopotamian demon popularised in modern culture. It didn't take long for TikTok, Facebook and even a few church livestreams to weigh in.

The frenzy began with a series of TikTok videos. Users highlighted Labubu's sharp teeth, wide grin and piercing eyes, describing the toy as 'spiritually off'. Some suggested the name 'Labubu' reminded them of 'Pazuzu', the demonic entity featured in The Exorcist.

That loose connection quickly gained traction. Soon, video creators were urging others — especially Christians — to get rid of the dolls. A few claimed they had felt uneasy or experienced strange occurrences after bringing them home.

Some individual preachers on TikTok have voiced concerns, though no formal church organisation has issued a statement. These videos focus on the idea that objects can carry spiritual influence.

Woman shares moment she 'saw Hell' after car crash and describes 'screaming souls'

The 51-year-old holistic energy healer, Yoga Premananda, said she "died" and passed over to the "other side" - and says she entered a dark, cold room before falling in the "terrifying" pit.

At the scene, there was a shadow-like figure present with a strong smell of smoke and an endless ceiling. Then, she was met by what she described as the "Archangel Raphael" – a prominent healing figure across multiple religions – who challenged her. Then, she was "suddenly" in the "waiting room" for Heaven.

She said: "I wasn’t scared, but I didn’t know what I was doing in the Hell realm. There was a spinning pyre of flames, with souls hanging off it, screaming and reaching for help. The shadow figures around me wondered who I was.

"The shadow figures around me wondered who I was. And the whole room’s dimensions were odd; the walls were shadows and they felt cold, yet hot; dry, yet wet. I wasn’t even thinking about my body back on Earth.

"When Archangel Raphael appeared, he was wearing dark sunglasses, a long dark trench coat and a black hat. Suddenly, I was beamed into a waiting room for Heaven in a split second. I felt very normal and quite comfortable. When I reached the other side, I was relieved – it was like home."

Before she entered Heaven, she entered a long, white tunnel with other souls that were filtering through. Archangel Raphael then made the decision of where would should stay.

She said: "He was sitting at a desk going through and stamping papers with information of the souls. There was a bright and light energy around it; the total opposite to what I thought Hell was like.

"No one used words, but we still communicated. A familiar feeling came over me as some souls went to the end of the tunnel – and I knew I wasn’t supposed to go there. I still had my physical body, whereas other souls were just orbs of light passing through."

As I was dying, I saw my legs crushed under the steering wheel.” But when it was her turn to approach Archangel Raphael, he stamped her ticket and reversed the crash.

"He got the okay from God to save my life. When I went back into my physical body, my car was miraculously on the road with no scratches or bumps. It was like a scene from a movie. I was filled with purpose and the information I had received rearranged my body. A piece of my brain had been activated – and the process was complete.”
