From Saad Murad (Tw): In the last couple of days, we’ve tracked about 17 mosque imams, and religious leaders in the #Kurdistan_Region of Iraq who labeled #Yazidis as #infidels and #devil worshippers. This dangerous development threatens peace and social cohesion and must be stopped. We all should stand together against hate speech and Incitement to violence. @kurdistan

My weekly #SundaySermon from a #ScientificRationalist perspective -- aka -- a #Religious #Rant #thread

Were I to believe in a #devil, I'd venture a guess that it's a #white, #male, #christian #sociopath whose #hunger for #power knows no bounds.

And based on my #survey of the #demographic #landscape, he's winning the #battle between #good and #evil hands down.

Consider: a recent PRRI survey still finds that 71% of #americans identify as christian. Make no mistake, #christianity is evil on multiple levels. My #argument follows
1/5

The greatest trick the #devil ever pulled wasn’t convincing the world he doesn’t exist. We know the devil. The devil is a #rich man. But, it’s the public’s duty to play #god, to ensure the devil remembers his duty.
8/8

However, one of the greatest #tricks the #devil ever pulled was the #invention of #propaganda convincing the poor they had rights without duties. Under a #capitalist system it is OUR DUTY to hold the #elite to account and throw them from their lofty perches when they forget they too owe duties to the rest of us. Duties such as preserving the #planet for the use of our #progeny. Duties such as paying living #wages. It’s our duty to hold them to account. That’s part of the contract. #Us: #guillotines.
7/8

Today in Writing History January 19, 1829: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's “Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy” premiered. It’s the story of a scientist who makes a pact with the devil to gain power and knowledge. It took him 37 years to complete the play. Goethe also published scientific works on anatomy and botany. In the late 1700s, he wrote that variation in plants and animals was due to descent from common ancestors. This idea later influenced Darwin, who also credited Goethe with discovering the intermaxillary bone. Goethe’s novel, “Sorrows of Young Werther,” led to a suicide craze in Europe.

~Hey mom, technology is stealing my soul again. Can you make it stop? ---

#Art dies many deaths. According to some, art died when people started viewing copies of art outside of #museums. #Lithography killed art that first time, according to some.

As the technology for replicating art evolved, objects of art became become less and less precious and more of merely a commodity for aims outside of the original intent and beauty.

Beauty is real in a way affectation is fake. #Beauty takes #truth, affectation takes delusion.

With regard to art, every innovation in technology brings us further from authenticity.

Fast forward to the present and A.I. art is like the #devil grabbing your #heart and tearing it from your #soul. An ethical #artist will see the danger of removing humans completely from art.

Instead of teaching new generations to be creative, we teach them to press buttons to get the simplest of emotional responses. Our minds are diminished by #technology in many ways, and that dehumanization should be recognized.

A.I. is dehumanizing. I do guiltily use it myself it in the context of digital art. A.I. does have uses as a tool for digital art, but any use of #AIart will detract from developing actual talent by gaining knowledge and practice.

Images really do steal your soul. That's the lesson of #AI art.

Teach each child of the next generation to be creative. Dispel the authoritarian idea that only special people have talent. Talent is not really a thing in itself, but the consequence of knowledge and practice.

#ChildDev -- Down with A.I. art and up with nurturing the artist in every child.

“When the soul is clothed in #faith the #devil is ignorant of how to hinder her,” says St. John of the Cross, because “faith gives her strong protection” against that “most astute enemy.”

If there's no devil, just God when he's drunk, but the devil's in the details, what's God drinking these days?
