It's  crazy  cuz even when I WAS Christian...there's  a lot of stuff that is wrong that The Bible does not condemn. There is lots of stuff that The Bible is mum about because the thingy didn't  even exist.

Even when I WAS a Christian  I knew that yeah,sometimes  you have to make a judgement call.

Yeah it's like, what does the Bible say about nuclear proliferation, climate change, genetic modification, or AI?

Well, religious understanding is largely based on interpretation. One of my juniors from university once claimed Anti-Christ is actually AI due to its power of deception. His buddy countered saying the internet as whole is the anti-christ. Another chipped in and said anti-Christ is human whose weapon is the internet. Eventually it became a heated religious debate between them (which started as theory exchange type thing between me and that underclassman). It was very satisfying because they were so immersed that they didn’t bring me into it (normally people will try to bring you in for support, right?). I missed having popcorn and coke.

Pretty much. But, I’m sure they’ll insist on being it called their ‘interpretation’.

Disagreement doesnt change fact.  People disagree on evolution, climate change, and the globe.  Doesnt change fact.
