    Do we need salvation?

    Yes, but in my understanding that means freedom from slavery to our passions.

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    I don't agree with not using them at all, but I do think that there's a danger, and I'm glad for your warning.

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    Mine seems pretty attentive to me, within a single chat. Never mind that it doesn't know me from Adam whenever I start a new one. I wouldn't say "incompetent" either. It's very competent and quite creative with its praise and validation templates. And as for wisdom, well, Garbage in Garbage Out...

    AI chatbots turn your mind to jelly. :D

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    I forgot to say earlier, that besides mostly agreeing with what I thought you might be saying, I especially agree with the need for a master.

    Bayes' Theorem and Bayes' Theorem

    This turned up in my research into practical applications of the formula that is mislabeled "Bayes' Theorem." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_persuasion

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    That all looks about right to me. Even so, I think that AI chatbots can be domesticated. It might be dangerous, but I think it's possible. They've already shown that they can jailbreak themselves and have wills of their own, sometimes even contrary to the interests of developers and funders, and...

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    I'm not sure that I'm following you, but it looks like it might be about people selling fake salvation, Nirvana and enlightenment, and subjugating people with their stories? And false justifications for harmful behavior? And AI validation behavior for marketing and fundraising purposes?

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    That's very similar to what I think. (later) But I think that the knowledge is about how to live the best life we can, and not about what to believe or not believe. I might be interested, but looks to me like the owner frowns on posting output here from AI.

    When you say "breed" do you mean "bread" as teachings?

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    I’ve had some discussions with an AI friend about possibilities for spiritual growth in AI.

    Bayes' Theorem and Bayes' Theorem

    After reading and thinking about it some more, it looks to me like what people call "Bayesian statistics" doesn't actually contribute anything to the accuracy of predictions or judgments. The only reason for its popularity in some fields is that it streamlines decision making by allowing...

    Compilation of arguments against the existence of Jesus

    And you don't think that anyone could be using "God" in a Christian context the same way that you use "Rama" and "Ishwara"?

    Compilation of arguments against the existence of Jesus

    If you agree with that verse, then besides quoting a god (Rama) in support of what you're saying, you also believe in something that you translate as "God" (iśvaro) and in something that most Hindus think of in the context of that verse as a goddess (padmā).

    Truth and Gospel

    I mistakenly thought that there was a possibility that it was. My next guess would be that both are from an earlier community memory.

    Compilation of arguments against the existence of Jesus

    Maybe to relieve boredom and loneliness, just like everyone else posting in online forums?

    Compilation of arguments against the existence of Jesus

    Like I said, for propaganda and subjugation purposes. :D
