[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised Christian but became mainly a science-first, Agnostic Atheist since 18 or so. This age of AI is making me want to seek religion again…not necessarily Christianity, although I do admire the fundamental teachings of Christ. I also seek a more general spirituality and, at the risk of sounding all woo-woo, a desire to find God in the natural world. There are some aspects of Japanese Shintoism that I like, among other non-Abrahamic religions that find spiritual presence in nature. 
You can probably see where I’m going with this. As our lives become more virtual and digitized and especially with AI encroaching on so many aspects…and with the prospect of Artificial General Intelligence, I feel like spirituality might be the final hope to maintain some sort of grounding, or that humans will keep the upper hand against AI if we have God on our side.

I still don’t know if I believe in God or what kind of God. But I find deep appreciation and yes, worship in plants and animals and human beings and things created by God and not in a data center. [/quote]

Why would you want a god that doesn’t exist on your side?  How would that help?[/quote]

DP but I am looking for meaning in my own life. That's how it helps.[/quote]

You won’t find meaning from a nonexistent God. [/quote]
