Religion is a powerful tool. If you can get people to unite by believing in something, you can potentially use them to your advantage. Weaponising religion creates a force like no other, especially if you control the beliefs that are held by those who subscribe to your particular religion.
Creating a new religion in the hopes of forcing all people everywhere to subscribe to it is as brazen as it gets.
This is exactly what Klaus Schwab and his little band of not-so-merry men at the World Economic Forum are planning to undertake. In their latest escapade, they have decided it would be ideal to have Artificial Intelligence rewrite the Bible so that they can create what they have termed a ‘correct’ religion.
Of course, this religion would only be ‘correct’ as it pertains to their ideology.
The idea comes from WEF contributor and speaker Yuval Noah Harari. Harari is known for books such as Sapiens and Homo Deus, the latter translates into ‘god humans’. He explores concepts such as the idea that humans are essentially their own gods, usurping the former single omnipotent, omnipresent, all-powerful God.
Harari recently stated when discussing fake news, ‘I think that fake news has been with us for thousands of years. Just think of the Bible.’
Taken from an extract in his recent book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, he went on to add:
‘So if you blame Facebook, Trump or Putin for ushering in a new and frightening era of post-truth, remind yourself that centuries ago millions of Christians locked themselves inside a self-reinforcing mythological bubble, never daring to question the factual veracity of the Bible, while millions of Muslims put their unquestioning faith in the Qur’an. For millennia, much of what passed for “news” and “facts” in human social networks were stories about miracles, angels, demons and witches, with bold reporters giving live coverage straight from the deepest pits of the underworld. We have zero scientific evidence that Eve was tempted by the serpent, that the souls of all infidels burn in hell after they die, or that the creator of the universe doesn’t like it when a Brahmin marries an Untouchable – yet billions of people have believed in these stories for thousands of years. Some fake news lasts for ever.’
The contempt for one of the oldest and most Sacred texts known to man is truly remarkable. Yet it is predictable within an audience of globalist elites at places such as the WEF, who believe they should be in control of the global population. There are individuals in this rarefied atmosphere that sometimes mull-over the idea of reducing the global population for the greater environmental good. How? Well, they remain evasive about the detail.
There are plenty walking the halls of global power who consider themselves as living gods. In reality, they act more like demons, attempting to sew the seeds of chaos on God’s green Earth.
During a recent forum entitled A.I. & The Future of Humanity, Harari gave us some insight into the purpose of this developing technology, stating:
‘It’s the first technology ever that can create new ideas. You know, the printing press, radio, television, they broadcast, they spread the ideas created by the human brain, by the human mind.’
AI can indeed create ‘new ideas.’ But these ideas are not necessarily generated by the human mind. They are generated by computer programs that are developed to, in some way, reflect the human mind. The problem is, as I explained in my previous writings on AI, these programs are developed by human beings who possess innate biases. These biases, by a process of transference, can easily become ingrained in the AI programs these developers create, already evident by experiments I detailed in my prior piece.
The problem with this technology is highlighted by Harari in regards to what people intend to do with it.
At the forum, Harari noted that AI is capable of creating new ideas, and ‘can even write a new Bible’. He followed this by saying:
‘Throughout history, religions dreamt about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity. In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct. Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an A.I.. That could be a reality in a few years.’
There seems to be an incredulous irony to this new urge to deify Artificial Intelligence by creating a new religion from those who laugh at ancient religions by comparing them to Harry Potter. Why do they find it more sensible for humanity worship the random creation of an AI machine?
It is my opinion that The Church of WEF would likely be one which subverts the Catholic Church and turns all that is holy and self-sacrificial into that which is unholy and self-indulgent.
Its acolytes would be those politicians and bureaucrats who attend WEF summits and worship AI and its moderators. Of course, those who control AI would be the ones with the greatest power, the ones at the top of the church hierarchy. And the church’s Pope would undoubtedly be Klaus Schwab, although there may be others who are out there scrambling for the position.
Harari’s philosophised version of the Bible would no doubt be one that the elite class considers ‘socially acceptable’, but which has been engineered to suit their ideal of what social acceptability looks like. The Bible, as it has been written, is beyond socially acceptable. The values and teachings preached by Jesus Christ and His Apostles are not reserved for Christians, but can easily be practiced by anyone.
It does not take a Catholic to show humility, respect, love, care, and forgiveness towards others. Nor does it take a Catholic to turn away from adultery, lust, greed, pride, or any other form of sinfulness.
And that is where an AI reworking of the Bible would fail. An AI Bible created by individuals seeking wealth, power is likely to centre around an idea of ‘social acceptability’ derived from personal interest. It would likely designate pride as a good thing, something that should be demonstrated in ways it is already being exhibited by the LGBTQ+ community. It would subvert all the good in the Bible, telling the faithful of the Church of WEF that they only need to love and care for themselves, that they should give into their lustful desires, and that there is no need for them to love their neighbour.
It is obvious that many individuals and institutions in the modern age are attempting to subvert or destroy religion, in particular Christianity, so that they can take the position of God. They want to be the architects of the world. They want to dictate the confines of humanity and morality. They want to be the authors of life, wielding power over who can and cannot have children. And, ultimately, they want people to worship them.
Unlike God, however, they will not give anyone the grace of free will.
Deifying AI and using it to write their religious texts is only the first step on a path by which the leaders of the Church of WEF will deify themselves. But a man cannot be a god.
Humanity has an innate inclination towards error. When we compound this with self-interest, which is what those who want to essentially rewrite humanity itself possess and lean into, there is a greater possibility that an individual will be a purveyor of deeds that put others in harm’s way, jeopardising their freedom and ability to live a good and decent life.
A man who thinks he is a god will no doubt believe that everything he does is for the betterment of humanity, and that all people will support and worship him no matter what. He will believe that anyone that opposes his ideas is opposed to the good of humanity and its progression and must therefore be punished.
Ultimately, he will believe that he is infallible. Yet not one human being on this Earth today is.
The desire to rewrite morality with a program is not only sacrilegious, but incredibly dangerous.
Something that is spiritual, that is otherworldly, is not meant to be conformed with that which is of the world, particularly with ideologies that are incompatible with it.
