#STRaskStand to Reason
Questions about whether Christians should really be so concerned about homosexuality, abortion, and science when Jesus doesn’t seem to care about those things and thoughts on AI leading a congregation in prayer or giving a sermon.
* Are gays, abortion, and science really the foremost concerns of Christianity, or have politicians figured out how best to herd us? I can’t picture those things making the top 50 things out of Jesus’ mouth when he returns.
* What do you think about the fact that AI can now lead a congregation in prayer and even give a sermon? It doesn’t feel right to me.
