He says, you should live according to His commandments and give absolute priority to God and the life in God now in your life. Read e.g. Mt 5-7 for a summary. There are those who claim to believe but are only interested in making money. Don't follow them. There are many who tell you "we are...

Just forget it. I haven't been aware that I answered in the same thread.

Sorry, I hadn't recognised that we were actually still with the same thread.

We are for sure different from all other creatures. All creatures are different. Of course that's not your point. It's easy and pleasing to think so. You need a higher degree of sentience to see that all living beings have a link to other individuals of the same species and to other species...

It's a post in a thread with a discussion on the topic. It's not been me who opened the thread.

I have answered in an other thread. I wanted to insert the link but it entered the full text.

In fact, the AI algorithms need to be "punished", i.e. get negative feedback or limits where they should abstain from showing content. This is possible. The difference between AI and a conventional program is that AI changes it's own algorithm according to the input it receives so that the only...

AI has no will. It works on the information on which it has been trained and given access to and connects this information (that's the intelligence).

AI is still a tool, not a person. But there are persons behind it. The greatest risk comes from the Palantir AI, which is designed and used in a public stately sensitive environment, processing police, military, and personal medical data. To know that it's owned by Peter Thiel, who openly...

If the light comes from outside, there's as much light as shade, as the moon. If the light comes from within, there's no shade, like the sun. A black hole consumes light and never gives it back. A torch gives light from within, but still depends on a source. Who are you?

I think it is right that we are the most intelligent animals. We are profiting from that and we are very conceited. We like to define that the value of a being is in fact defined by it's intelligence because this would justify that we are the most valuable creatures. But actually, the earthworm...

It depends on the culture. Hugs between friends are common in Arabic countries, in Russia and also in Switzerland (in particular in the west like Geneva)

I acknowledge your belief. We are here to exchange. My post went a bit fervent. I wanted to offer you the understanding of resurrection I came to mainly by studying the Gospel accounts, which is different from the commonplace understanding that resurrection is a promise for a far future. The...

Then you miss the central Message of Jesus: Your resurrection begins here and now. It is the choice to submit to God only, meaning, do good and rely on the knowledge that what is good before God is good for eternity. You may see Jannah (the final Paradise, Islamic expression) as an utopia. Ask...
