I wonder how many Christians consider human psychology as a contributor to human behavior. Is human decision making really based solely on spiritual forces? Does not mankind have a natural sense of self? Ego? Pride? Self Esteem, etc? Natural human instincts such as personal relations, sex relations, emotional security, financial security, etc, etc, etc...that is common to ALL humans regardless of spiritual beliefs? These natural human psychological constants influence the behavior of every human...they are the essence of being human. Human Laws if you will...and they are separate from any spiritual beliefs. Sure the concept of God is also present in every human being: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control and always has been. The issue here is the Bible. A human written, God inspired “manual” for living and also a historical reference for those that choose cite it on that level. Look at how the influence of the Bible was intensely and intentionally used by the Catholic church in such deplorable and manipulative ways. There are so many horrifying acts by God-inspired humans that its embarrassing for most Christians to acknowledge. Stoning of people for working on the Sabbath? Really? Cite scripture if you must to frame man as naturally evil...but you have to acknowledge the disturbing “divine” parts as well. And thats where the issue is. (hope that made sense).

You got to admit, the Bible does read kind of like a Lord of the Rings movie: Every biological creature is created from dirt by an invisible infinite intelligent benevolent supernatural being who later kills (drowns) every human save for one family. A talking snake that was possessed by a supremely evil dark Lord. Magic fruit. Adam was the perfect human man with every human emotion (good and bad) and naturally has his human male reproductive organ but no vehicle to use it until God saw that “...it is not good for man to be alone”...incidentally that was the only time that God was forced to declare that he (”they”) did something that wasn’t good. Then the perfect human woman is created (again having every natural human instinct as the rest of us) and they lived together for 100’s of years and only produced THREE children? Not a chance thats going to happen in this world. Moses. Burning bushes. Fire from the sky. Ruthless murder of men women and children and even animals by Gods “chosen people”. And it just goes on and on and on from there. Comeon...you got to admit that any objective thinker has to conclude that this is pretty out there.

I'm sorry. What??!!

WTAF is this BS? There’s 32,640 pages in the full 32-volume Encyclopedia Britannica.

Anything for a headline. This will be forgotten long before 2027. The law will be repealed...unless it can somehow be used for gov’t fraud.

I dont get this part:

Gates explained that without the proper guardrails in place, it would be simple for potential terrorists or anyone with ill intent to use the tech to develop weapons or biological horrors.

Lets just say for example that AI says "if you do this and then this, that, and that" you could destroy 1billion people". What weapon could possibly be made by "potential terrorists or..." that hasn't already been dreamt up? What could be so powerful that it would instead likely kill the bad guys and their country long before they figure out a delivery system? I mean are we talking about small pox here or what kind of make believe, fairy tale thing that is just...BS...you know?

If this is true (I have my doubts) then this story just made my year. This, it would seem, sets a miraculous and victorious precedent for unborn, defenseless human beings. Lord please let this come. AMEN!

Dang. Sell crazy somewhere else...

effem.

Believe it / See it.

It’s the opinion of a blogger.

Ah. hugh and series then. /s

Huh? I’d think that this would follow the same rule that my flight instructor taught me. There is one thing that you can always count on about weather forecasts...the actual weather is never as-forecast. What metric are they basing this on again?

This should tell you all you need to know about the midterm polls.

I have a lame question: Do you mean that the GOP is possibly in hugh trouble? If so, I agree...and I got fear.

This dude seems to be close to the UK version of Trump.

Pipe down bitch

Yup. I was right. You are obviously a complete idiot that is stuck at 12 years old. Go to your room!

"This administration has been - at best - dismissive of us. At worst? Openly hostile."

AMEN! I am very very concerned that the dems will sweep the midterms.

Suck on this one too! Is this what you call Trolling? Fcking idiot.

You got to win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms, it's just gonna be I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. Uh, I'll get impeached...
