Megachurch pastor Jack Graham was in the middle of his Sunday message to Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, this past weekend when he paused to cue up an unusual sermon illustration. After encouraging people to respond to the killing of conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk by turning to God, he instructed the congregation to listen to a roughly minute-long audio clip of what sounded like Kirk delivering a short speech.
“Hear what Charlie is saying regarding what happened to him this past week,” Graham said.
As the clip, which encouraged listeners to “pick up your cross, and get back in the fight,” ended, the congregation burst into applause. A few seconds later, they rose to their feet in a standing ovation.

Generating images of him with MLK is just so wild. Not sure if this is the product of completely delusional minds or hostile foreign actors.

Absolutely both

MLK is code for, "We're totally cool with the blacks! See!"

The idea of "garbage in, garbage out" has never been so perfectly illustrated.

Pretty sure that that is forbidden by the bible. Necromancy, divination, that sort of general thing..
https://www.lincolndiocese.org/news/diocesan-news/15543-ask-the-register-what-is-necromancy and other bible pages agree.

Mostly unrelated note: Digital Grift would be an excellent band name.

I think the real news is the political situation in the US. AI and Charlie Kirk are just being exploited here, which isn't great either. But I find it more alarming that some supposed Baptists now call for jihad as well.

No delusions at all among these absolutely normal things, but eh?

Yep. I feel my dinner coming up.

Most religious people worship men more than their own God. But Ai, they will worship that as their God, soon enough. These people love the devil now and days. Doesn't matter what religion. The world is twisted because evil people are allowed to rule and thrive and stupid people are allowed to exist with no punishment for being stupid

I would be okay if he became eponymous with a bill outlawing this coming back from the grAIve bullshit. They don't have to pick his name, of course. But if they did, I would tolerate his name being attached to a sensible cause.
