From Prayer to Prompts: How We Accidentally Made AI Our New Religion

💭 When Humans Crowned a Robot Holy: The Day Sanity Packed Its Bags

You know what’s crazy? Like, genuinely insane? We’ve reached a point in history where people are saying “ChatGPT should be my spiritual mentor.” 😭😭

Excuse me? A robot? You want to confess your sins to WiFi now? Is this how far we’ve fallen as a species? Because I swear, even the angels are probably looking down shaking their heads like, “We told them, but they didn’t listen.”

Look, I’m not here to drag AI — nah, I actually love it. ChatGPT has saved my academic life more times than my calculator ever did. If I had a rand for every time it helped me with an assignment, I’d be typing this from a beach in Zanzibar right now. But when I saw someone on Facebook saying, “There’s no Bible verse ChatGPT can’t explain — make it your spiritual mentor!” I nearly dropped my phone, my tea, and my sanity all at once. 💀

Here’s the thing — humans built AI.

Before ChatGPT, there were humans. Humans writing books, translating languages, recording history, and sweating over dusty libraries. So how on earth did we go from “AI is a useful tool” to “AI is my new God”?

We’re now living in a world where there’s an “AI Jesus.” Yup, people are literally praying to a robot. You can “confess” to him, “ask for forgiveness,” and “get advice.” I’m sorry, but if Siri starts giving out salvation, I’m logging out of humanity permanently.

Next thing you know, someone’s gonna say,

> “ChatGPT officiated our wedding!”

“ChatGPT is my girlfriend now!”

“Our baby’s name? Alexa Jr.”

At this point, the world doesn’t even need a horror movie — we are the horror movie. 😂

But let’s be real. This is not just funny; it’s sad. Because behind the humor is something deeper — we’ve lost our sense of who’s really in charge. We’ve replaced divine wisdom with data, faith with algorithms, and prayer with prompts.

And don’t get me wrong — AI has benefits. It makes studying easier, it makes writing faster, it makes life smoother. But what it can never do is breathe life into your soul. It can give you knowledge, yes. But wisdom? That comes from the Holy Spirit — not from a chatbot with good grammar.

So no, I’m not saying delete ChatGPT. Please, I still need it to explain why my WiFi acts demon-possessed every Monday morning. 😩

But let’s keep things in perspective: use AI, don’t worship it.

Learn from it, but don’t live by it.

And for heaven’s sake, don’t try to baptize it.

Because the moment we start giving divinity to something that came out of human coding, that’s not innovation anymore — that’s idolatry with better spelling.

So yeah, humanity, it’s time to wake up. Because if ChatGPT ever starts asking for tithes… I’m out. 😂
