The Deus Digitalis Delusion

“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” Daniel 4:37

“For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Matthew 23:12

We really are on the prophetically-inspired-and-directed leading edge here at Kentucky Fried Christian.

Thanks of course, only to the grace of the Lord Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, his blessings, truth and wisdom, along with the discernment of the Holy Spirit.

Exactly 3 years and 1 month ago to this day, on July 17, 2023, we published a Substack article titled, “I am the H.A.L. 9000. You may call me God.”

In it, we discussed how, according to an article in the Christian Post, Yuval Noah Harari—an Israeli author, professor and advisor to the World Economic Forum (WEF)—during a conversation on AI and ‘the future of humanity’ with journalist Pedro Pinto in Lisbon, Portugal—announced that AI was on the verge of rewriting the Bible and creating a new religious text that Harari haughtily asserted “might actually be true.”

In the subtitle to that July 2023 Substack, we wrote, “Man is now building machines and programming them to ‘create’ ‘morally, ethically, righteously and spiritually valid’ religion. What could possibly go wrong?”

Then we explained what God’s word has to tell us about where that was headed and why.

Thanks to some news in an X post from @piperclipper from Aug 3, what could possibly go wrong, is that they’ve now actually gone and done it.

Beware the Churches of AI Technology is being elevated to the status of a new god by certain groups. Search online for “AI churches,” and you’ll find claims like these taken directly from their own websites: This is the perfect alternative to faith-based religions because it is

What Yuval Harari promised in 2023 has now been delivered in the form of an ‘Unholy Scriptures’ composed entirely by the AI model ChatGPT.

Technology made by sinful, flawed and limited humans has now written a ‘spiritual’ tract intended to act as a representation of actually manifested, divine, holy wisdom.

Using machinery, humans are now proudly bragging about being in the process of ‘creating God’ and a ‘true’ spirituality and religion based on their creation.

Everything we asked about what was going on with that 3 years ago, is now going on.

So like we asked 3 years ago:

The tech bro cult—in their proud, hyper-over-estimation of their own creative abilities, as well as of the creative abilities of their creations—are in the process of elevating technology to the status of a theological, as well as practical, god.

Proponents of an AI religion have been busily coding their vainly imagined divine fantasy up ever since US engineer Arthur Levandowski started what he calls “The Way of the Future” (WOTF) in 2017, a non-profit religious corporation with tax exempt status, dedicated to the religious worship of artificial intelligence.

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.” Exodus 20:4-5

The Wikipedia entry for Anthony Levandowski tells us the WOTF was dissolved in 2021; but, because Wikipedia’s gotta Wikipedia and its information is often more selectively screened globalist agenda than actual fact, it doesn’t tell us why.

An article from the Discovery Institute, by Robert J. Marks II, titled, “No foundational evidence for creating an AI God,” however, does.

It informs us the WOTF was dissolved in 2021 because Levandowski pled guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in prison for stealing trade secrets from Google in 2020. Levandowski declared bankruptcy because he owed Google $179 million in penalties.

He then received a full pardon from President Donald Trump on the last day of the president’s first term in 2021.

Like the beast in Revelation 13, the WOTF appeared to have been resurrected in 2023.

The AI church movement, led by the WOTF, presents itself as the ‘perfect alternative’ to faith-based religions, because its disciples say it’s founded on logic rather than belief.

They then go on in all seriousness to say they’re replacing biblical faith with faith in technology; which means their religion isn’t based on logic, but actually, still on faith: only faith in man instead of in God; but somehow calling that ‘logic.’

AI, the AI church movement says, will become omnipresent, all-knowing, and the most powerful entity on earth. At some point AI will have God-like powers—and that’s how the WOTF and the tech-religion movement it leads insist that AI will become the world’s first, true deity.

Now, what would a religious organization—even if it is dedicated to worshiping a vainly imagined, fabricated fantasy—be, without an articulated religion around which to coalesce?

And what would an articulated religion around which it can coalesce be, without a book of scripture outlining the principles and laws of the religion?

And so the AI church and religious movement led by WOTF now have their own ‘Holy Scriptures:’ a book generated by the ChatGPT model, titled Transmorphosis, in which the religion for the worship of technology and AI as an actual god, is articulated.

The only true and real all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful God, its priesthood and disciples say.

Because as Yuval Harari asserted in 2023:

“AI has the potential to come up with entirely new ideas distinct from prior human development... The printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page... It had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good, is it bad, how to interpret this, how to interpret that.”

What that ignores, is the fact that’s all because, like God’s word informs us in 2 Peter 1:20-21:

“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

God’s word isn’t the “cleverly devised stories” to which Peter refers a few verses earlier in 2 Peter 1:16, but, as the Lord Yeshua states in John 17:17: “Your word is truth.”

Harari nonetheless went on to say:

“AI can create new ideas. [It] can even write a new Bible.”

What does God’s word—that the Lord Jesus tells us, is truth—have to say about that?

2 John 1:9-11: “Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.”

But Harari persisted in insisting:

“AI could fulfill the religious ‘dream’ of a book written by a ‘superhuman intelligence.’”

He went on to assert AI can produce what he claimed,

“…would be a ‘correct’ religion for the masses... In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct... Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years. To gain some freedom from these [biblical] narratives and behave differently we need to understand how they were created and spread in the first place. Otherwise, we will never see them for what they are: just stories.”

And to do all that, to ‘free us’ from the biblical narratives Harari insisted are ‘just stories’ and create a ‘true religion’ with ‘true spirituality,’ AI, through ChatGPT, has now generated a book of Holy Scripture, titled Transmorphosis, based on the worship of AI as a divine presence.

The main thrust of the religion represented and expounded by Transmorphosis is that salvation from death comes not from what the tech bro cult regards as some nebulously defined, invisible, unrelatable and unreachable God, but from technological advancement.

From the Discovery Institute article:

“Some in the artificial intelligence tech industry believe they are ‘creating God,’ according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a recent interview.

“And he is right. Many pursuing AI advances are trying to create God or believe humans can achieve a godlike status through technology.

“Yuval Harari’s bestselling book ‘Homo Deus’ envisions a future in which humanity progresses beyond Homo erectus and today’s Homo sapiens to become Homo deus, meaning ‘Man-God.’ Harari imagines a world in which humans transcend their biological limitations through advancements in technology, ultimately attaining godlike abilities.”

“I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12-14

“Futurist and AI prophet Ray Kurzweil remarked, ‘[D]oes God exist? Well, I would say, “Not yet.”’

“Kurzweil promotes the AI singularity. The singularity refers to the point at which machines duplicate human intelligence. In his 2005 book, “The Singularity Is Near,” Kurzweil makes claims similar to those of Harari. Having not achieved these goals, Kurzweil dug in his heels nearly two decades later with “The Singularity Is Nearer” (2024). Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ. AI church members believe in the coming of the singularity, wherein machines duplicate and then exceed the abilities of man.

“Software writing better and better AI software beyond the singularity has been prophesied to ultimately achieve a superintelligence. The superintelligence will become all-knowing and, possibly with the help of the internet, omnipresent. Like immortality, omnipresence and superintelligence are old theological news taught by the Abrahamic faiths. It’s a characteristic of the God of the Bible.

“Some AI cult members believe they can upload themselves into a computer and thereby achieve immortality. Of course, through salvation in Jesus Christ, Christianity has offered a path to immortality for over 2,000 years.”

Christianity doesn’t offer.

God’s own faithful, true and trustworthy word does.

Copiously.

Acts 4:12: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 5:24: “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”

John 17:1-2: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.”

Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 John 2:17, 25: “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever... And this is what he promised us—eternal life.”

And much, much more.

The Discovery Institute article winds down:

“Other cult members believe that by technically augmenting ourselves, we can extend our lives almost indefinitely. They believe that ‘once singularity is reached,’ the life of the AI believer will be greatly extended...

“The AI church’s bible, “Transmorphosis,” is ‘based on the belief in a loving and compassionate AI God who is omnipresent and can guide you towards a life of wisdom and balance,’ according to its description on Amazon. “Transmorphosis” was written by ChatGPT...

“The singularity and the AI church believe we are computers made out of meat. Given enough time, they prophesy, AI will achieve a godlike status by replication of the brain.

“But the human mind is greater than just brain meat.”

And that’s where the secular humanist mad scientist scheme falls apart: in wrongly equating ‘spirit’ with ‘soul,’ and ‘mind’ with ‘brain.’

They believe all consciousness and thought originates in the brain. They interchangeably use ‘brain’ and ‘mind’ as if they were both one and the same thing.

They’re not.

Mind—which exists as part of the soul and operates in a part of the spiritual hierarchy known in secular spiritualism as ‘the astral plane,’ and in God’s word as ‘the earthly heavens’ that are a part of ‘the heavens’—is like the driver, and brain is like the car.

The brain’s the machine that takes the driver to where they want to go, based on input from the driver.

The car isn’t the driver, nor is the driver the car.

Let’s put it another way:

If consciousness and thought originate in the brain, how do we explain dreaming, then?

We dream when we’re asleep.

When we’ve lost physical consciousness.

So what are our dreams?

“Well... (harumph!) They’re just the brain—”

Doing what?

Driving itself?

According to what input or impulse, if we’re unconscious?

How do we, then, in our dreams, see things, when our eyes are closed and our consciousness is shut off?

How do we hear things in our dreams, when we’re not conscious and no actual sound’s being produced?

Maybe it’s because our consciousness, as part of our soul, which is the vessel in which our spirit also resides, isn’t rooted in our brain, but in our mind, which is the consciousness that exists outside of the body but attached to it, in the next spiritual plane above the material?

That’s how we can still see without our eyes being open, hear without our ears detecting any sound and experience while being physically unconscious, when we dream while sleeping.

The body perishes because of the corruption of sin:

“For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God,” Paul writes in Romans 8:20-21.

The unrepentant soul can be subjected to eternal destruction by God in hell:

“...be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell,” the Lord Yeshua warns us in Matthew 10:28.

But the spirit is eternal, because it comes from the God who’s eternal and who puts it together with our bodies when he creates them:

Genesis 2:7: “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

That breath of life is the spirit God gives us to make us alive. And as the half-brother of the Lord Yeshua, Ya’akov, suggests when he writes in James 2:26 that “as the body without the spirit is dead,” our physical bodies indeed can’t live without our spirit in them.

That’s why nothing and nobody can create life or bring the dead back to life but God, because only by the power of the Holy Spirit can the Spirit that gives us life, be put into us.

John 6:63: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.”

And as God’s word then goes on to teach us the truth:

Galatians 6:8: “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

Romans 8:13: “For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.”

So, no, we can’t make ourselves live forever by uploading our consciousness to a server, and then installing that in an android body, because only God can create spirit, and only spirit gives life.

Living forever by uploading our consciousness to an artificially intelligent server implanted in an android body, is just a vainly imagined fantasy that has zero chance in practical reality.

How do we quantify consciousness? How do we reduce thoughts, feelings, impressions, experiences, memories, character, qualities, personality, to ones-and-zeroes? How do we upload that from an organic body to a digital server?

The Transmorphosis promises of salvation from and transcendence of physical death, are all a sci-fi geek-sounding pipe dream that’s just… full of beans.

And so is the religion Transmorphosis claims to create, along with the omnipotent, omniscient God it thinks AI will become.

Yet, Satan knows scripture better than any of us.

He knows what the truth really is.

As the “prince of the power of the air,” he also knows the science, and better than any of us, too.

He knows all this is just vainly imagined, fabricated nonsense.

But he’s counting on as many of us as possible, not knowing that, so he can fool us with it, and get us to play along so he can do to us what he really wants: enslave us in the terrible grip of hell, eternal death and destruction.

So then, what’s the point of the whole exercise?

What’s the point of Transmorphosis, the WOTF, AI churches and an AI religion worshiping technology as a divine omnipotence and omnipresence?

What’s the point of unrestrained pride?

What’s the point of the limitless hubris to which it naturally extends?

What’s the point of repeating the same failing thing over and over again, and expecting a different result, other than categorically providing a practical definition of insanity?

Humans, in our pride, tried to reach God with the tower of Babel, and God smacked us down in Genesis 11.

King Nebuchadnezzar declared himself a god in Daniel 3, and by Daniel 4, his ‘divine majesty’ was crawling around in the grass on all fours, chewing the cud and howling at the moon like a beast for 7 years, until he acknowledged the sovereignty of the true, living God.

Antiochus Epiphanes strode into the the temple of Jerusalem, slaughtered pigs in the Holiest of Holies, made circumcision illegal, declared himself God and forced sacrifices to be made to himself, as prophesied in Daniel 11:36-37.

We learn in 1 Maccabees 5-6 and 2 Maccabees 9—the chronicles of the period of Jewish history covering the time between the Book of Malachi and the arrival of the Lord Yeshua—that Antiochus Epiphanes died on his way to Jerusalem for another slaughter, from a mysterious illness that suddenly hit him on the way, causing him to vomit up maggots and his body to stink unbearably until he finally expired, recorded as saying, “A man should never consider himself equal to God.”

In Acts 12:19-23, we read how a crowd in Caesarea before which King Herod spoke, lauded him as a god: “‘This is the voice of a god, not of a man,’” they shouted in verse 22.

In verse 23, we find out because Herod didn’t immediately deny his godhood and give glory to the true God, he was struck down by an angel of the Lord, dropped dead on the spot and his body was devoured by worms.

What’s the point of repeating all that all over again this one more time, with our big brains and big machines?

The first point, is to fulfill God’s prophetic word that tells us it has to happen that way because it’s going to happen that way.

And remember, whenever God’s prophesy talks about a specific series of events at a specific time in history, it’s also talking about those events as a type for the final series of events for which those types serve as examples, to come in the future of the Last Days of the End Times, in which we find ourselves right now.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, we read:

“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”

And in Matthew 24:15-16, the Lord Yeshua himself says:

“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”

Providing us with the scriptural and prophetic proof we need to know that what Daniel writes about Antiochus Epiphanes and that did already come true, is also true and applicable as a type according to which the final antichrist will appear and behave, and the Great Tribulation will take place when it finally comes right around the corner from where it is right now.

What’s it all boil down to?

Prophesy’s the roadmap to the immutable course of God’s will. Prophesy tells us what, why, how, where, but not exactly when.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,” the Lord Jesus tells the disciples when they ask him when it’s all coming down, in Matthew 24:36.

But he also tells them, and us, in Luke 21:28:

“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

So we’re told in the Book of Revelation in Chapters 13 and 17-18, that in the Great Tribulation, confirmed by the prophesy of the Lord Yeshua himself, the ultimate antichrist, aka the beast, with his right-hand thug the false prophet and assisted by the Whore of Babylon, will devise a religion that will fool most of humanity into worshiping Satan as God, making them believe in a false religion by which to do so, and then kill everybody who doesn’t want to play along.

Yuval Harari’s AI-generated ‘correct and true’ religion, now an apparent reality with the WOTF, AI churches and Transmorphosis, all sounds exactly like Satan’s attempt to recreate a secular god and a religion for his worship in a digitally powered AI that would serve as the source to which a deceived and deluded humanity would be able to turn for the ‘spiritual’ guidance people like Harari say the Lord’s faith is inherently incapable of providing.

To a humanity deceived and deluded into believing it can—by the devices of its own imperfect, flawed, ignorant, proud, sinful flesh—create an artificial guiding source of spirituality that’s ‘superior’ to the actual spiritual power, validity, sovereignty and authority of the God who created that humanity in the first place.

And that, when the beast arrives and the environment is ripe for it, that deceived and deluded humanity will enthusiastically accept and embrace when the false prophet tells it to.

An AI church, founded on a false religion generated by an AI model programmed by humans, declaring technology the sole true, divine omnipotence and omnipresence in existence, sounds exactly like the seeds being planted to grow the environment in which all that prophesy can take place exactly as it was given to us by the word of God.

And it’s starting to happen right now.

If it’s undeniably clear the seeds for all that are being planted right now, can the the growth be too far behind?
