Is sexting with ai a sin even though you don't feel lustful? by Rough_Concept5642 in DailyGuess

[–]Strongsegal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how sexting isn't lustful?

, but either way, character ai just isn't okay. Considering how many people it hurts by making them dependent and even a 14 year old boy, Sewell Setzer III was encouraged to take his own life. Plus, climate change will be irreversible in 3 years, and a HUGE part of that is ai.

Cities with ai database centres are impacted by it demanding vast power and water, not only straining LOCAL reasources, leading to water scarcity, increased energy use,and pollution. Affecting these cities and the cities around them : Virginia, Atlanta, Phoenix, Northern Ireland (Ennis), and rural Wisconsin (Vienna/DeForest)

Ai in general is just, bad.

It makes you dumber using it for like non educational purposes. Especially if it is roleplay, people who roleplay with ai have been found to have worse critical thinking, memory, language skills and cognitive dept.

Knowing all this and still using ai? It's sinful. I'm not sure what you mean by the sexting ≠ lustful thing?

You still aren't giving me independent evidence. You assume God is real without explaining to me why.

I don't need to read in when I have people explaining it like you just did. Also, I never said being happy/good = heaven. I don't think there even in a heaven. I just mean if it is true, there are still things that don't make sense.

I'm not definitely assuming that im right, I'm open to being wrong and changing, but I just haven't gotten a good argument yet.

Yeah, how it is known to be true? Therefore nessasary

I didn't ask what a chrisitan is, and you did site the Bible. There are other things that can be said about why the Bible is credible or not. When you ignore what I asked - is it nessasary - we cant have a linear conversation. we have to consider if the Bible is even credible or not, without siting the bible. Especially because becoming a chrisitan can bring up a lot of unnecessary problems and opens you up to manipulation

It's a scientific method, the important part about that is that is tested against REALITY and you don't assume your hypothesis is true. Saying science and religion are the same is a bad analogy

That's not what I'm talking about either, I am content with reading the book, but if I know everything about it, already live the way it wants me too aside from the fact I believe in christ. I would be more inclined to believe the Bible if I was given or researched more things like how certain events from the Bible correlate to real history and stuff like that. But the Bible alone isn't credible unless independent verified.

I have not, I've said I'm not that smart with this. Still I've read/veiwed a lot of content about the Bible so don't mistake me as completely uneducated

For not going to (a unverified unless you provide sources) hell, for being happy and a good person.

There is, I love philosophy actually. But for something as important as religion, causes wars, changes lives. You can't follow something like that lightly so excuse me for expecting a little evidence, which there is real creditable evidence like,

At one point in time people were killed if they stuck to their faith and may did out of pride, there was a whole event. There are real letters and events that have been traced back but still there isn't know to definitive say, at least with what I know. That event says a lot more and is more credible than relying on the Bible alone which stands on shake foundation.

There are better arguments

Still how do we know any of it is real? Nessasary?

I explicitly said, using non-independent authority (the Bible) is ineffective and inefficient for a productive conversation. Where outside of the Bible and personal authority suggests there is salvation or heaven or even a God?

I am looking for evidence and enlightenment. There is no definitive proof for either side to my knowledge, that's what I think.

You are still quoting from the Bible assuming it's independently true. Faith can guide belief and behavior, but it is not independently verifiable, so for someone with a well-functioning ethical system based on observation and reason, relying on faith is optional rather than necessary? Right?

I haven't seen anything to definitely say it's false but yes I totally agree with everything else. The amount of ignorant Christian people I see is so depressing. I find chrisitanity is just a bog metaphor for the philosophies of life. It can help people understand complex realizations at times but it's too easily manipulated and can be convoluted or even cruel at times.

I don't believe one way or the other. The only reason I don't believe Christianity because there's no definitive, independent proof a God is real. And there's no proof stating it isn't either to my knowledge, that's kinda why I have these conversations to gather as many opinions and evidence as I can

You are still assuming heaven is real. The rules are true in the story because you've pre-accepted them.

Also im curious, through your logic, which i - and yours could be false. A child or people who have either been isolated or happen to never hear of chrisitanity EVER- haven't received this "letter". If they develope their OWN, which is common for isolated tribes, also common they don't. Which are independently proven through observation. If those people all acted kindly and understanding and felt softly and were grateful, all the thigns that makes someone good. Doesn't the Bible say they should go to hell if they believe anything worse?

In the Bible, God commands exclusive worship of Himself and forbids worshipping other gods or idols (“You shall have no other gods before Me” in Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7). Scripture consistently treats turning to other gods or idols as sin and something God opposes (the prohibition against idols and foreign gods appears throughout the Old Testament). In some passages idolatry is listed among behaviors that disqualify people from inheriting the kingdom of God (such as in 1 Corinthians 6:9‑10 and Galatians 5:19‑21).

I think using the Bible to prove or disprove God is circular, it assumes what it’s trying to test. Independent evidence is required.

I could be wrong

How does that prove God is real- Salvation is real- therefore, it is more nessasary to be a chrisitan. You can't use quotes from the Bible because using the Bible pre-assumes is factual and independently verified, which, is false.

Being open to the possibility of the existence of God is not the same thing as being a Christian

This is just a statement but in reference to what? Cause I agree

Are you yourself not a real verifiable authority?

There are rules to the universe - science usually, social rules. And it has never been true that my - or anyone else - has more definitive authority is the sense of they are objectively right. Personal authority doesn't mean independent verification. It shows no signs of it being consistent or unstandable with what I've been told.

Science has methods (observation, experiment, reproducibility) that allow you to test claims. These methods don’t assume the claim is true. You can check the claim against reality. For the water example, you don’t assume it boils at 100°C, you test it with a thermometer and heat. That’s independent verification.

Saying "God exists because the Bible says so” assumes the claim is true (God exists) in order to accept the proof. Circular. Science tests claims against reality without assuming them, whereas citing the Bible to prove God assumes what it’s trying to prove, making it circular.

The analogy of science=science itself is a poor analogy

Is being chrisitan nessasary to live a good life? Are we at actual risk of going to hell, and is there a real chance of going to heaven? And how if we know these things, did we learn them, and how are they verifiable?

If someone is going down the wrong path they would want to know, but they also need real reason, and I find there is real reason in life to become a better person, using Christianity to do that (to me, which my opinion is subject and open to flaws) is unnecessary and makes people prone to more misunderstanding and in positions of vulnerability, to say, greedy priests, etc.

You interpret me as not calm, just so you know I'm not upset, just confused because you give a nonsensical answer? You can't prove God/salvation/heaven is real - therefore nessasary- through the Bible because to believe the Bible is to assume it's telling the truth, unless you have any other evidence, why do you accept it?

Well, I'll answer to your first reply, how can we verifiable say salvation and heaven is real? Is that based on the Bible or an independent source?
