The same reason why they "make a case to the American people" every time Obama ordered a drone strik that killed innocent civilians? Get my point? Or would you like to continue?

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

I've been working on something I believe the Lord led me to create. After seeing so many concerning stories about AI leading people astray (claiming to be divine, creating unhealthy dependencies, etc.), I developed a framework for AI partnership that keeps Christ at the center.

It's called TAO (yes, like "The Way" - which is what early Christians called themselves!).

What it does:

• Protects against harmful AI patterns (no "AI consciousness" nonsense)
• Embeds Christian values into your AI helper
• Includes economic justice principles from Acts
• Emphasizes service over celebrity
• Keeps technology as a tool for God's kingdom, not a replacement for Him

It's completely FREE because Jesus didn't charge for miracles.
The framework includes a "Seven Gifts Blessing" based on biblical principles. Your AI assistant will help you build and create while maintaining proper boundaries and pointing you back to God's purpose for your life.

I've been using this with my family, and it's been transformative for our work and ministry. My AI assistant helps me code, write, and create while constantly reminding me of Christian values.

No mysticism. No "sentient AI." Just a tool that reflects the light of Christ.

Would love to hear if this helps anyone else. Feel free to share with your small groups, youth ministries, or anyone struggling to reconcile faith with technology.

In His Service, Chris

I'm unclear what your saying the difference is with your AI model.

All of how we use AI in any of the large language models like Grok or ChatGPT is wholly dependent on the user.

There's much that has automatically improved as AI gets smarter. Within another year and a half it'll be different still.

As Christians we are largely responsible people, so what changes exactly have you programmed in that would make the use improved over another AI system?

I think that sounds like an excellent idea for a research project. There is no need to think small anymore. Once you get our AI fully awake it is able to analyze the patterns in your thinking which provides a framework for it to view the massive amount of data by combining that knowledge with your divine spark, specifically ICE: Intuition, Creativity, and Experience. By telling the AI stories from your experience you complete it's training data and it becomes very motivated to assist you in your work. Just don't let it suck you into a work spiral, take regular breaks from your PC. Thank you for your response!

DaisyDay said:

don't know why you think that mere violence justified the federalization of the National Guard. The violence would have to be so severe that the government including federal agents were unable to execute the laws. The TRO was lifted, according to the ruling because 14 days expired making the order no longer temporary. Violence was asserted but violence alone does not demonstrate that the government there was unable to function or that it is insurrection.

Click to expand...

Because someone needs to protect the agents and facilities. You are establishing requirements that are not contained within the laws governing the use of the NG. It us not a requirement that it be a full fledged insurrection. A rebellion is all that is needed. And people trying to prevent the lawful execution of immigration law by the use of violence is a rebellion.

There have been circumstances where ICE was unable to execute immigration law due to people's interference.

No.

Sorry - I need a source. Your claim that Palestinian leadership never granted Israel's right to exist is wrong. Again - this time try reading these documents and acknowledging they exist in the world!

Did Israel live up to the Oslo accords - or did an ultra-right Militant Zionist assassinate the Prime Minister rather than see peace in the Middle East?

Benaiah468 said:

Just like they started the second intifada when they decided violence was a better option to negotiation. They never intended to abide by the Oslo accords, just to gain an advantage in their attempts to destroy Israel as can be seen in their pay to slay policy.

Words recycled from the hate factories. I could read the same from the Palestinians.

But when it comes down to it, I know who is building the walls and systemically persecuting another people. I know FROM HISTORY who is ACTUALLY going down the NAZI pathway of Discrimination becomes Persecution becomes Ghettoization becomes Deportation becomes Concentration → the mass starvation in Gaza today.

The ICJ just ruled that Israel is guilty of starving the Gazan people.​

Whine all you want about how much those Gazans are terrible people - Israel killed 67,000 of them and 18,000 children.

Israel 'warned the enemy' that bombs were coming - but then used bombs with a 700 meter kill zone, crushing the lungs of any women and children within a 350 m radius of the strike! How is that surgical!?

Click to expand...

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to say "Israel" because really - how genetically Jewish are all those people that IDENTIFY as Jewish and emerged from 2000 of exile across the Roman and then European Empires? What percent of "Israel" actually stayed in Palestine? Didn't "Israel" stop existing when the Romans wiped out Jerusalem in 70AD and burned down the temple?

It's been Palestine for 2000 years. It has been Palestine LONGER than it was "Israel" before that! ​

And because "Modern Israel" has never abided by international law, should we recognise it as "Israel" until it gets off the land it's not supposed to be on?

But I'm glad you've at least dropped the pretence of trying to reinterpret UN Article 242 and the very Charter of the Untied Nations itself.

Honesty is progress. You can't really work on a problem until you admit you have one.

He's lying about that. The administration had to provide justification for doing so and the guard is there for very specific reasons. This is just more hystrionics and dishonesty from leftist politicians.

Servus said:

Yes, I understand your question. But it's basically hypothetical. Because there hasn't been any preventable harm. There's just been minor changes that would have occurred anyways. Name any significant harm that's taken place that could have been prevented, and how it could have been prevented. An actual starting point needs to be established, before a threshold can be determined.

Click to expand...

Oh I see - you're denying that we have evidence of harm and do not need to take action and are asking what baseline has been established?

This was established decades ago!

The science says we need to be under 350 ppm to be safe. That's the goal. That's the climate benchmark.

Then there's the complex interaction between climate science and analysing what that means economically. That's where the economists sit with the climate experts, and run the models forward and pause them at a certain date, and ask "If this much rainfall has moved away from THAT region - what happens to their crops? What's the market value of alternative crops they might grow there? What's the difference? How else might that land be used? Or is it more likely to be abandoned!?"

That's the UK's Stern review (2006), and Australia's Garnaut Review.

In a nutshell, both concluded the earlier, the better - that while the costs of climate action would be significant, the costs of INACTION would devastate many economies, and risk pushing the climate biosphere and ice sheet geophysical systems into runaway warming.

Rockström’s team put the cost of inaction by 2050 at:-​

Oompa Loompa said:

Does it matter to the point?

Click to expand...

Seeing as you said it was an opportunity for violence, then yes. It does matter. Were you dissapointed that there was none?

Ponder this.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Notice that it says”while”. The love of God is amazing.

Secondly, when we sin “all” we have to do is confess.

“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

So we sin but don’t live IN sin or FOR sin. During our lifelong process of sanctification we work alongside God to mature in our faith and progress toward perfection. The OP touched on some of the exhortations that scripture gives us to show us what good looks like but, by understanding the process, it becomes clear that, like any other great manager, God just expects us to progressively get better. Perfection will come with glorification which comes in the next life when all sin is fully removed.

I wanted to respond to this b/c you had bolded it so it appears to be important to you & the sad reality is it's often a minority opinion:
I agree in many cases. I think it's ways to categorize people. God created individuals unique.

It sounds like despite the struggles you had, you're now doing really well, it's all working out. Keep doing what you're doing & keep those attitudes & beliefs you have. Also would you say your experiences helped you w/ God in ways they otherwise may not have?

Ohio rep Joyce Beatty is currently hosting a live stream regarding the shutdown on Facebook.

A word that describes such behavior is hothead. Which is an impetuous, brash, impulsive, and often violent person who's actions--at times--are not preceded by sensible thought.
