Query: are there any potentially positive practical ways AI could impact Christian spirituality and practice?

Survey: thoughts on (properly trained) churches creating cell groups to help recipients of psychedelic-assisted therapy find community, integrate insights, and help sustain benefits long-term?

@esglaude @JoeNBC @Morning_Joe Most folks who think they’re spiritual, too often are not;
Most folks who think they aren’t racist, too often, are.

You might be thinking as a reporter that writes about the PAB that I was expecting this. I'm likely more surprised than all of you.

I think we hate this episode because we would have done exactly as these characters did - only Varys dated to stand up - because he also acted in his character of pursuing the good. Character is fate.

GoT theory: everyone’s mad not bc GoT is bad writing, but bc it’s not Tolkien. In the end, Jon, Tyrion, Dany, Jaime, all had a chance to stop the genocide. They all acted just like they’ve always acted. Codependent, afraid, complicit, addicted, violent.

We all know deeply the pain of self-sabotage. Of idealizing away the thing that is killing us. Of fearing the good out of despair for the perfect. Of being defeated by our trauma and loneliness. If indulging in our nihilistic urge to destroy.
