omg this is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.. The little beaver temper tantrum noises … 🥹

The disciples of Jesus who were in a position to know whether Jesus had risen from the dead or not, died excruciating deaths when they could have saved themselves by simply saying, "Look, it never happened."

Anti-AI writers treat their work like a horcrux, as if typing words manually embeds a piece of their soul into the draft, and AI use would corrupt the sacred vessel. This is not theology. It’s not even good metaphysics. It’s magical thinking dressed up as artistic integrity.

At least in some important ways, Christian metaphysics is magical. The irony is that Daws has assumed a sort of disenchanted materialism that’s at odds with historical and biblical Christianity. It’s the position of a “buffered individual” as if the written word and its value is devoid of human virtue. It’s treating the written word as indifferent to the humanity that created it. As if human creative work carries no meaning beyond its material output. As if the relationship between creator and creation is irrelevant. As if all that matters are the pixels on the screen or the ink on the page. That’s a metaphysical reduction of Christianity, not an attack on some kind of fantasy magic. Basically, human work has meaning beyond the material output. Offloading that work or seeing inhuman work as equal is not Christian.
