Fuckin’ AI is everywhere and in everything.
I guess it’s both good and bad.
It’s fun to mess around with AI image generators. I was able to produce this gem this week:
Jesus on an Easter Egg Hunt: the true meaning of Easter that many forget.
By now, I’m sure you’ve messed with (or at least heard of) ChatGPT.
If you haven’t, it’s wild.
You can ask the AI to write pretty much anything for you…
So, I decided to ask it to write some Christian Instagram bios for me to see how accurate it was.
Here are a few options for a Christian Instagram bio:
"Saved by grace through faith. Sharing my journey with Jesus one post at a time. 🙏🏻 #Christian #Faith #Grace"
"In Christ alone, my hope is found. Lover of God, family, and coffee ☕️ #Christian #Blessed #Family"
"Jesus follower. Wife. Mama. Writer. Lover of all things chocolate 🍫 #Christian #Family #Writer"
"Surrendered to the One who holds my heart. Encouraging others to live for Him. ✝️ #Christian #Encouragement #Jesus"
"Believer. Dreamer. Explorer. Seeking God's will in every season of life. 🌿 #Christian #Faith #Adventure"
I don’t know about you, but it feels like I just stumbled across the Instagram account of 5 people with which I used to go to church.
Of course, I didn’t stop there. I had one more idea.
I needed to see what ChatGPT would come up with for Christian metal bands!
Sure, here are some suggestions for Christian metal band names:
Saints of Suffering
Crown of Thorns
The Agony Within
Holy Warriors
Resurrection Army
Crucifixion Pulse
Redemption Reign
Divine Conquerors
The Blood Covenant
Eden's Curse
The Crossfire
The Armor of God
The Burning Altar
The Martyr's Cry
The Warrior's Call
Crucifixion Pulse?? Are you kidding me?? That’s the most fucking metal band name I’ve ever heard.
Also a huge fan of Saints of Suffering.
Easter Weekend
Ah, yes. Easter. A time when wayyy more people than usual will be at church with their families.
They’ll dress in their matching pastel outfits and take 1000 pictures to post on Facebook.
That probably makes me sound like a hater; I’m really not trying to be.
They’re free to do whatever they want, but even when I was a Christian, I thought it was weird that some people basically only show up on Easter and Christmas time.
If you can’t tell, it’s not yet Easter when I’m writing this. That day has now come and gone.
I, for one, will NOT be at church on Easter. Instead, I will go to the grocery store because it’s guaranteed to be the emptiest it will be all year!
Speaking of Easter, I made this post online:
I just think it’s funny that many of the same people who are crying about their children being indoctrinated with gender ideology or CRT will have no problem making their 8 year old watch Passion of the Christ.
Predictably, I got some negative responses:
So, for having an opinion, evil dwells within me. Cool.
Jesus Camp
On the latest episode of What The Heaven Did I Just Watch?, I review Jesus Camp!
It hits reallly close to home.
Many of the scenes in this documentary remind me of churches that I’ve attended in the past.
Listen to it HERE.
Good Things
I’m going to start ending these newsletters with some good things that I find.
I know that I probably come off as an “angry atheist” or crotchety old man at times.
I’m really not.
People are free to believe what they want, but I’m also free to push back on those beliefs if I believe they are harmful to others.
Anyway….
Here’s my favorite thing that I saw this week:
I have such a soft spot for senior dogs.
I lost Bowser (my 12 year old terrier mix) a few years ago, but I still have Comet, who is 14 now.
Dogs make me smile. They’re so pure.
If you like my newsletter, share it with someone else who might!
Until next week!
