"To put a bullshit machine on the internet, in the name of Christ, is reckless. It's almost certain that it will make stuff up at some point. This is bad enough in itself, if we care about truth, but it will also have many negative consequences. For example, Muslims will spot the fabrications, even if there are only one or two, and use it to discredit your work."
What a weird jab at "Muslims". I don't think this person is fit to do apologetics, since they are unaware of the rather harsh challenges to christian theology put forward by e.g. modern physics, capitalism and thinkers like Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, which are much more serious than nitpicking "discredit" put forward by some equally naive dawa enthusiast.
The AGI LLM religion itself is a much more credible threat to whatever flavour of protestant baptism.
That's still a weird generalisation and pinpointing of muslims. There are billions of them, most of whom care little about minutiae in protestant christian canon. Coming from someone in a rather small and modern christian denomination that has spent a lot of time griefing about "paedo-baptism" I don't think it's actually about being impressed by 'knowledge of scripture'.
> most of whom care little about minutiae in protestant christian canon
Muslim and Christian scripture overlap by a large amount, it's not that they care about Christian canon, it's that they study the same books. Muslims have the stereotype that they are much more "serious" about their religion than Christians. It's not a negative thing.
To save whoever reads this a click, it's a link to an irrelevant article about the problems and ethics of measuring accuracy of commonly held beliefs based in prejudice along racial, gender and similar lines. It's presented instead of evidence of the accuracy of the earlier generalisation, because such evidence does not exist.
Not quite! I presented no evidence that my generalization was correct, but you didn't say that my generalization was incorrect, you said that "to generalise" a large number of people is unsound, which is refuted by studies of a phenomenon called stereotype accuracy. You can argue that this stereotype of Muslims is wrong if you like (or that there is no such stereotype widely held), but that's a different conversation.
I don't get the feeling that you're arguing in good faith though, so I'll bid adieu now!
