More consequences than if it had raped some kids.
I mean, I’m not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and wanted to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.
Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn’t even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.
This seems to mean that priests can theoretically make any liquid holy, thereby making holy Gatorade.
I just checked and it seems that unfortunately not. At least catholic Priests are only allowed to bless “true water”, which is usually understood to mean that nothing was purposely added to it (with the exception of certain salts for rituals like exorcism).
So is tap water okay, or only where it isn’t fluoridated? What about sea water ? Heavy water ? Rain water ?
It needs to be demineralized and deionized to be able to accept god and become holy. God is quite picky
it’s what believers crave! it’s got electrolytes!
I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.
Aren’t a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?
You can literally do it with spit… And that’s not a hypothetical. You can do it with any fluid if necessary… How is this controversial?
Because not all dogma can be easily explained or defended so it is easier to hunt the messenger. Compare to evangelicals and how much they roar against some things in the old covenant as sins while still using cloth made of mixed materials, eat bacon or refuse to kill their kids if they are not respectful enough.
I mean, water has to be blessed by a priest first before it becomes holy. So, what if the only thing available is a bottle of Gatorade but you have a priest? Couldn’t he bless the Gatorade so that the person could be baptized?
Semen is like 85% water
Yes, but, every sperm is sacred, so God might get irate.
Thank God we are protestant!
For those who don’t know, “AI-powered priest” in this case means a 3d model run by AI, not even a real person. The pronoun here is “it” not “he”.
I think Father Justin can decide his pronouns on his own, don’t you?
Strictly speaking no LOL - AI doesn’t “decide” anything.
I mean, it’s not like trans people choose to be trans.
I legit thought it was going to say it found some way to molest a kid
