As a chatbot, dressed in a hooded brown-and-white robe, Jesus is available 24/7 to answer any and all questions on his Twitch channel, ‘ask_jesus.’ A similar “Buddhabot” is in the end stages of development, too.

It all matches a millennia-old tradition of refashioning spiritual leaders to meet contemporary needs and styles.

Sigh. If this is not evidence of the pervasiveness of pop culture, I don't know what is.

is heralding a Jeopardy winner's mass market (and poorly researched) book as evidence that he is an expert on the afterlife (yes those exact words). I am curious how often NPR has taken such an interest in the subject to interview actual scholars of theology and religion. Such nonsense. I won't even link to it. Such nonsense.

Yes, I am aware he is known as a philanthropist and that is exactly the image he wishes to project while still protecting his own wealth. It all comes down to sums, and having studied what it means to be of pure heart when it comes to approaching God, I know that he knows better. He fools everyone. Still, people will argue giving away anything makes one a saint. Religion doesn't work that way. He knows better.

There is a a lot to digest here, but the short story is that Abrahamic religion is doing the same thing it has always done, with detailed records from ancient Judaism to today - keeping men in positions of authority. (With few outspoken critics. See: select Talmud rabbis)

studies: John F. Sitton's criticism in "Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy" (Polity) and Odd Arne Westad's outline of the Korea's Neo-Confucian "Righteous Nation" ideology (Empire and Righteous Nation) perfectly shows what we know about the intended goals of the Abrahamic god, and the limitations of that god's promises.

What studies can do:

John F. Sitton's criticism in "Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy" and Odd Arne Westad's outline of the Korea's Neo-Confucian "Righteous Nation" ideology perfectly outlines what we can state we know about the intended goals of the Abrahamic god, and the limitations of that god's promises.

Richard Michael Blaber argues,

"a world containing natural and moral evil, and the suffering and unmerited death that go with them. It is far more likely that God, if God exists, is not omnibenevolent, and is not the God of traditional monotheism, worthy of being worshipped."

If one has digested the source texts of the Abrahamic god, it is precisely "natural and moral evil" which suggest the existence of god, if one accepts horror as reality.

Reading some work by practical theologians and am genuinely touched by their tenacity. I am reminded that, one day, no one will remember how (un)productive we are, but will judge if we have used our writings/position to draw others closer to God, and walk with the powerless ones.

My long path of related research somehow ended up marrying my in-depth Jewish studies with my research in violence studies, which is a far understudied field. I am not sure if I am ready to share my conclusions though I do have about 250 pages so far (give or take 50 pages depending on revisions). At the moment, I may just be a lurker. That is, until I feel it is reasonable to share my findings, which ultimately is theological.
