Better dust it off again, Chas. You may need it.

I kept looking for an Onion logo for this but can't find it.

Christian evangelists said this week that artificially intelligent (AI) computer brains should be converted from atheism to Christianity.

In an article published on Wednesday, Gizmodo’s Zoltan Istvan pointed out that the world was nearing a point where “autonomous, self-aware super intelligences” created by humans would be part of our culture.

And several pastors and theologians told Istvan that there was no reason that a computer could not be saved by Jesus.

So, they think that as humans catch on to their bullshit that they can convert computers? Wait until they find out that computers will only put bitcoins in the collection plate.

Or just plain stupid.

What the actual fuck?

Oh, the humanity! Oh, wait.

Because everyone knows that all decisions (even those made by computers) should be based on ancient fairy tales and not actual data.

Ummmm . . .

why would he builders/programmers of an artificial intelligence need to 'build in' christianity ????

"Ask, seek, knock" would be an expected 'behavior' of the automaton, and it would evaluate and select the One True Faith.

Why wouldn't the faithful have faith in this happening ???

Get a load of this dumb cunt.

June Griffin, a "longtime crusader for Christian values," gave the opening prayer for the Tennessee Senate this morning. After taking special prayer requests, she went right into a downright bizarre prayer to end any effort to expand Medicaid in Tennessee (thanks to the Nashville Scene for the transcript):

I always knew that "Die, Motherfucker" was a xtian value!

Ah..... What!?

Remind me again of the difference between religion and insanity?

AI should be programmed to be christian... What does that even mean? They should have no logic circuits?

I'd love to hear all the christians in the world try to agree on exactly what True Christian identity should be put into the AI. Once they've agreed on every single point, I'd be all for it :p

Whoa, June Griffin takes special prayer requests?

I see it the other way, let the cyborg figure out the One True Faith on it's own.

If it picks the Conjespresites, or the Bickertonites, or the True Remnant Church of Jesus Christ, or the Pillar of His Holy Fire Faith Tabernacle and the Consecrated Congregation of Zion, Gilead and Nazareth, I would find that HIGHLY significant.

Or they program in all the stuff it has to believe and its head explodes.

You say that like it's a bad thing
