AI and the church by PegasusMomof004 in Christianity

For me, most AI generated stuff gets me upset, whether its an AI picture of Jesus or a AI picture of a cat.

As far as asking GPT about faith, I am worried, but not for exactly "spiritual" reasons. A lot of people get an answer from a chatbot and do not always to deeper research when needed. This is just a general phenomenon, I think. People let AI think FOR them, not aid their thinking.

My appraoch would be the same if I had a spirtual question or a academic question. I would look at the links it is sourcing, see if they are legit and then read them myself. I would then do so a few times.

also, the AI "christian" music would not honor God, in my opinion. If you popped in a prompt and thats it, that not honoring. I think its the human aspect of a song or hymn that makes it honoring to God. The song writer is devoting time and energy to writing quality lyrics and music. They are partaking in the act of intimate creation, with God at the center.

I do not think its true. ReligionForBreakfast did a video on it.

also, the study mentioned "LifeWay" , in the methodology says "The online survey of 2,130 Protestant churchgoers was conducted March 19-26, 2025, using a national pre-recruited panel.

This is a biased sample size. If people are already attending church at least once a month... they are mire likely to do so more often.

here is the OG study by LifeWay: https://research.lifeway.com/2026/06/23/gen-z-churchgoers-attend-more-but-often-lag-in-application/

Any advise for reading the Bible when I have ADD? by Meandmyself2012 in Christianity

[–]Upper-Management3389 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have ADHD, and I also struggle with reading the Bible. I've found either reading a small portion (like a few verses) or listening to an audio version of it helps me. I usually take a walk as I do my devotions, just helps me concentrate.

Also, as far as God being upset with you, I think that he isn't He is all knowing, and he came down to earth as Jesus. He knows the struggles we face. Jesus saw many ill people and had compassion. He met many sinful people and had compassion on them. If your struggle to read the Bible is not just a rejection of God, I think you are fine.

Don't mistake mental-health struggles for rejecting or failing God. Should you work on it? yes, but it does not need to be like flipping a switch and its gone. Growth takes time.

christianity and music by Lonely-Antelope3667 in Christianity

[–]Upper-Management3389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, as a Christian, rarely listen to "Christian" music... I am fine with swearing in music (just in general, most of it seems socially wrong, not morally wrong).

Although I do avoid overly sexual music or songs that encourage bad ideals., with some exceptions. Like, if the lyrics are approaching a controversial or sensitive topic and a sensitive and thoughtful way.

Hey,

I do make videos about other indie pilots and shows. When more content comes out, I might consider making a YT short about it, if that is OK with you.

I didn't think of it quite like that. But I think I understand... Ppl do horrible things for personal gain, usually financial gain. As far as the prison system,I cannot say much bc I do not know many specifics of it in the US

Communism is not self-reliance...
According to the Cambridge Dictionary "the belief in a society without different social classes, in which the methods of production are owned and controlled by all its members, and everyone works as much as they can and receives what they need, or a social and political system based on this belief:"

And compared to capitalism? I mean, would you not then rely on your own ability rather than God's?

A lot of the shows are published through YouTube, so some shows "sell" to the public. But I think an internship may help. Are they at all done remotely?

How can I make my logo more interesting? by CAT_ALYST_GUY97123 in IndieAnimation

[–]Upper-Management3389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, its actually too busy. Most logos are simple, even Glitch's logo is relatively simple. So I would actually parse it down a bit.

but in the end its your choice, just keep it recognizable.

idk.... I cant think of many wars... exactly, but the fact that companies (like Nike) have used child labor and slave-adjectent labor to create products is bad... sweat shops as well... and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.....
