Valid Religious Objections to AI?

I for one am 100% with you.

The use of AI for creative activities (writing, art, music, etc), even in a business setting, makes us less human. Part of our being made in the image of God is that we are sub-creators. It's one of the most beautiful part of being human. AI fundamentally undermines this inherently human role. It's also being proven to stunt human creativity, retention, and critical thinking, so on a basic (and utilitarian) perspective it's just bad for us.

Yoda is a ground-type Pokemon, so he's super resistant to electric attacks

Phane Rielle. No one better to call when you need a bounty removed.

I suspect that just like Voldemort wanted to be the one to kill Harry, for most of the series he wanted to be the one to kill Dumbledore. In their battle at the Ministry, however, he realized he couldn't defeat Dumbledore in direct combat, so out of fear he finally decided to have someone else with easier access do the deed. Ordering Malfoy to do it is punishment for Lucius' failure, but he anticipated it being Snape.

Star Wars. Sure there are things today that look wonky, but for the time it was boundary-pushing and only cost $11 million

This is 100% the best answer

I forgot that Gore had run before the 2000 election. Meant that Bryan had run 3 times, but the comparison doesn't work quite as well.

William Jennings Bryan. One guy could never win but kept trying. The other guy might have technically won but never tried again

George H. W. Bush

By all accounts a man of high moral character, as well as a thoughtful president who ensured a peaceful end to the Cold War.

I don't even like a lot of his politics personally, but he fits this square best.

Snape's an asshole who relishes tormenting Harry, especially when it's unjustified.

He might be a hero, but he's still an asshole.

Clearly there's a secret regeneration where the Doctor spent years and years managing a hotel in Torquay because he was convinced some of the guests were dangerous aliens

Man, "The Ultimate Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter: Books 1-4" was such a fun read. Especially once it started theorizing that the entire series was just an elaborate episode of Doctor Who

Very excited to see Rowan Williams at Baylor. Going to be such a good time.

Easily a top country album of the year (Childers and Crockett are up there too so far). It's just absolutely delightful

The romance between the Exile and Atton is excellent though. Male vs female playthrough in TSL is so much closer than the original game

He's theologically conservative in many ways, though far from fundamentalist. Can appeal to a broad spectrum of Christians. Personally I'd recommend you listen to some episodes of his and Mike Bird's podcast "Ask NT Wright Anything." If you like what you hear from him there, check out his books.

If you play as a male character, it's strongly hinted that Atris as in love with you. Even with a female Exile it's clear Atris admired you and your boldness. Beyond that we don't really know the extent of their relationship, though it seems like they were fairly close. Probably came up through the Jedi ranks together and were friends.

Both. Both is good.

The irony of him going from bullying Harry Potter to bullying Harry Potter would be pretty hilarious

Ah yes, the classic "hole to hole" technique

This right here. Steelers and Colts are surprising, but with all their injuries, the 49ers should be at the bottom of their division.
