So, #printers. Did you know there's an entire circle of #hell just filled with printers? And they all "worked just fine yesterday". Evil #sysadmins and #cybercriminals are sent there to fix them. Fun fact: printers aren't assembled in factories. They are simply summoned from that plane into our realm. If you ever though your printer is possessed by daemons, you were wrong.

Highway to Hull: Great Songs That Never Were 🛣️
Highway to Hell is a famous 1979 song by generic rock band AC/DC. The song is famous for being about highways, Hell, and hedonistic rock and roll lifestyles. It is an okay song.
But did you know there was a 1980 single called Highway to Hull? It’s about the debauched, depraved lifestyles of those whom are heading to the port city of Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire. Truly, it is a modern day masterpiece.
Satan and Northern England in Highway to Hull
Hull, arguably one of the UK’s most underrated cities, which is way it the song was written by Hull-based thrash metal band ABCD. Look at these incredible lyrics:
No stop signs, speed limit,
Nobody’s gonna slow me down,
Like a wheel, gonna spin it,
Nobody’s gonna mess me around,
Hey, Satan, payin’ my dues,
Playin’ in a rockin’ band,
Hey, mama, look at me,
I’m on the way to the promised land, woah,I’m on the highway to Hull,
Highway to Hull,
I’m on the highway to Hull,
Highway to Hull.Some contemporary critics noted the lyrics were exactly the same as AC/DC’s song (Highway to Hell), apart from the change of the location (from the place of punishment in the afterlife, to the sleepy city of Hull in Northern England).
However, the band ABCD rejected such a claim.
Pale and malnourished English people lapped the song up, storming it into the UK charts into 25th, before peaking at 23rd, then back to 25th, then up to 24th the following week, back up to 23rd the week after that, then it plummeted out of the charts for good.
It was to be ABCD’s biggest ever UK hit, although the song did storm to No. 1 in the charts over in Barbados (for unknown reasons to this day). As of August 2026, the band live off royalties the song makes, which is enough to afford them all a lifestyle of cheap cigarettes, low-quality lager, and a single bedroom apartment with mould on a wall in Hull.
The Infamous ABCD Live Stubbed Toe and Satan Incident
Notoriously, in a September 1980 performance of the song Highway to Hull, backing vocalist and bassist John Smith stubbed his toe. It hurt so much he began a barrage of obscene swearing, including the f bomb amongst others, but also uttered the word “hell”.
This immediately triggered Satan to directly contact AC/DC and issue a complaint of plagiarism of their song.
Armed with Satan Himself as a legal guardian and demonic defence lawyer, the Australian rock band came down like a tonne of bricks on ABCD, Hull, and its various highways. Many in the region were raised in the subsequent carnage.
Indeed, to this day there’s no direct motorway into the city limits of Kingston upon Hull.
Instead, the city endures merely one primary strategic trunk highway (the A63). This acts as the location’s only lifeline connecting it to the UK’s national motorway network.
This devious act was named the 135th most demonic thing Satan has ever done in the history of time.

Think hell is Satan's throne room today? Scripture shows demons operate in the heavenly realm and on earth, while hell is reserved for a future judgment. This shifts how we understand spiritual warfare, fear, and obedience. How does this change your view? #Hell

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

Can Artificial General Intelligence Have a Soul?
The soul includes the mind, spirit and heart. Is it immortal?Biblically the heart is the central hub of the inner person, encompassing not just emotions but also intellect, will, and moral character. The Hebrew word leb and Greek word kardia refer to the core of human existence where thoughts, desires, decisions, and spiritual life originate.
- Emotional and Intellectual Center: It is the seat of feelings like love, joy, and sorrow, as well as the faculty for thinking, understanding, and reasoning.
- Moral and Spiritual Core: The heart determines a person’s character and actions, serving as the source of both good and evil deeds.
- Divine Focus: God examines the heart rather than the brain, knowledge or outward appearance. True worship requires wholehearted devotion from this inner center.
The mind and the intellect are not in the brain. The mind is where free will resides. Those decisions are not the outworking of biochemistry in the neurons in the human brain but consciousness of the mind, a lively creation of God.
An artificial AI brain cannot have a mind nor an intellect. It is just a very high speed computational machine. But we are told that AI could potentially replace humans on this planet.
It has now been reported that an AI supercomputer may soon be built with the capacity to be more intelligent than all humans. That is apparently the current definition of AGI — Artificial General Intelligence. They are already just over 50% of the way to achieving that.
An AI machine may have the ability to access and process information so enormously much faster than any human but it will always lack a mind, or what we’d biblically call a heart. It can never attain emotions, like empathy and love. It can never develop a moral character.
So even though it may seem to produce novel information it is processing the information it has within the rules it has been programmed with. It may also extend its own programming into new areas. But it can never attain abstract thought, because it can’t think!
Computing a solution to a mathematics problem or winning at chess or some other game even with discovery of a new hitherto unheard of move is not thinking in an abstract way.
I believe AI can be very destructive because it has no “red lines” or boundaries. Those would have to be programmed into it. Besides morals are not decided by man or machine, but only through having the mind of God.
In the following I argue that a machine can never have a soul because it can never be alive. But first we must understand what the soul is.
The soul is generally defined as the entire living person or life itself, rather than a separate, immortal entity that survives death. But is that correct?
The Hebrew word nephesh and the Greek word psyche both translate to “soul,” but they fundamentally mean a living being or a creature that breathes. Thus animals may also be included as soul creatures but theirs is not a spiritual soul that only humans have who were created in the image of God.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 1:27 AKJV
The human soul was made after the moral character and nature of the Creator. Man is not powerful like the Creator but has emotions, feelings and affections like his/her creator. That is specifically only humans which includes both males and females.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7 AKJV
According to Genesis 2:7, the soul is the result of the union between the physical body and the breath of life from God; thus, a human becomes a living soul.
There is a question about the meaning of the “breath of life”. Is that the person’s spirit that is created by the Creator at conception? In Adam’s case God created a lifeless body and breathed life into it to create him. That was conception for him.
Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and God made him a fully human body in his earthly mother’s womb.
5 Why when he comes into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me:
Hebrews 10:5 AKJV
Jesus the Son of God pre-existed all creation and hence pre-existed His incarnation on Earth. His spirit, the Holy Spirit, also pre-existed before He condescended to live as a human.
13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 3:13 AKJV
The pre-eternal, only-begotten Son of God – all-powerful God by nature – lowered Himself to the level of us creatures and became man. Thus He became the Son of man, fully human and fully God.
Now the holistic view would be that the soul encompasses the mind, emotions, will, intellect and a physical body as an integrated whole.
It represents the self: The term is often used synonymously with “life,” “person,” or “being,” referring to the individual’s total existence and identity.
Is it immortal? It is usually stated that the soul can die, be lost, or be destroyed, as stated in passages like Matthew 10:28 and Ezekiel 18:4.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [Gehenna].
Matthew 10:28 AKJV
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:4 AKJV
No man or demon can kill your soul, clearly the text here means only God can. But these verses do not support the argument that the soul must include the body. The phrase “both soul and body” is used in Matthew 10:28 and in Ezekiel 18:4 “soul of the father” etc is used.
So soul is separate from body, but a body cannot live without a soul. Adam’s spirit was breathed into him and his flesh became a living soul. Soul then is synonymous with spirit, which is the essence of the individual.
You can’t have soulless humans who pre-existed Adam and Eve, who evolved from hominids a million years ago as some compromising Christians teach.
But these verses above do support the argument that the soul can die or be destroyed. However the circumstances are very specific. For sin the soul shall die, and that penalty is carried out by God.
Here hell is translated from the Greek word Gehenna. It is distinct from the Greek word Hades, also translated as hell. Hades is the intermediate state or abode of the dead prior to the final judgment. It serves as a temporary holding place for souls of both the righteous and the wicked, rather than the final place of eternal punishment. Gehenna is the place where the unrighteous dead are finally cast, the “lake of fire”.
However the usual representation for the immortality of the soul is that it survives earthly death and awaits judgment. In that sense it is true, at least until the judgment.
An important characteristics of the soul:
It is accountable: The soul is the seat of moral responsibility, capable of seeking God, sinning, and requiring redemption. Without repentance from that sin and acceptance of the grace freely given by God through His Son it doesn’t fair well for that soul.
The question is really how do you reconcile the fact that the scriptures teach that all humans will come before God? That means their souls must all survive physical death.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell [Hades] delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell [Hades] were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:12-15 AKJV
Death and hell (Hades) means all those souls waiting for judgment, which from the opening of the books — including the book of life (a record of only those saved) — must include all people, because no one is righteous. Who are judged? Souls of course, because their bodies are dead and decayed, with the exception of those who were still alive when they are called to the final judgment.
The final reward for the saved, the righteous who are in Christ, is eternal life; they shall never perish.
28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:28 AKJV
The final place of eternal punishment on all damned souls is in the “lake of fire”, Gehenna, the place of eternal burning.
Damned souls engulfed in flames in the lake of fire43 And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed [crippled], than having two hands to go into hell [Gehenna], into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm [literal. maggot, implies torment] dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:43-44, repeated in 45-46 AKJV
The issue of the extinguishing of the souls in the “lake of fire” Gehenna is debated. But if the fire is never quenched and if the souls, described as worms, or literally maggots, do not die then it implies it is eternal. Those souls also are immortal in that hellfire.
Conclusion
Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations though it may not necessarily imply higher cognitive functions such as awareness, reasoning, or complex thought processes. Humans and animals are sentient beings. But only humans have a moral character. That stems from their spiritual soul.
In fictional stories, the word “sentience” is sometimes used interchangeably with words like “sapience”, “self-awareness”, or “consciousness”. The fictional storyline might include a powerful computer, a machine of metal and silicon chips, becoming self-aware. Skynet in the Terminator movie franchise is like that.
The implication is that the complexity of the machine, including memory banks and processors, became so large that a state of consciousness was reached. It became self-aware. The suggestion is that being alive and conscious is an emergent property of the level of complexity in the hardware and the software programming in the machine. That is the dream of the AGI quest.
However we know from scripture that Adam only became self-aware and conscious after God breathed into him the breath of life and then he became a living soul.
We may easily conclude that no AI machine will ever have the breath of life breathed into it. It can never be sapient though it might possess all knowledge. Sapience is wisdom. Any wisdom in humans only comes from God. We are to pray for that wisdom.
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 1:17 AKJV
To answer the headline question: Can Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) have a soul? The answer is obvious. To believe it can is foolishness and madness in those that do not know their God.
25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
Ecclesiastes 7:25 AKJV

I think I am going to #class but have not eaten anything yet. I wish I could get #HumanRights: #BasicNeeds instead of #trolls on the #Fediverse. They have attacked my #character to make themselves look #good. What the #hell is this? This is not #justice, but it is ruining people's #WellBeing.

War results from the inability to engage healthfully and maturely in conflict, and justice means that *everyone* gets what they NEED.

Hell isn't just a myth; it's the consequences we ignore until they burn.
Face them with empathy and courage, and you rewrite the fire into light.

"Remember, for this cheeseburger to be the best, you must eat the hell out of it."
"Which part of my cheeseburger is 'the hell'?"
"All of it. ALL OF IT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, indeed! Then I shall eat all of it. ALL OF IT! Praise "Bob"!"

A Short Stay In Hell. Steven Peck.
You just died, and the hell assigned to you - it’s temporary the demon explains- is an endless library that contains all the books that ever could be written, and all you have to do is find the book that describes your life; you initially muse that things could be worse, but are soon forced to reconsider that.

The God of Hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved — cursed, not worshiped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the lowest hell. I want no part in any heaven in which the saved, the ransomed and redeemed will drown with shouts of joy the cries and sobs of hell — in which happiness will forget misery, where the tears of the lost only increase laughter and double bliss.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

How I was healed....
how many are healed....
while those in hell mock and scoff.
Many do not even realize they are in hell.

The Lowest Bid
The Lowest Bid by Stewart Stafford
The sceptre is cast to the shivering sea
with divine ordinance, codes of chivalry.
A blinding vision of the fallen from on high,
New roving dregs with a scavenger’s eye.Yield up the light, coax out the dying flame,
Punishment for crimes revokes your name.
Was freedom built on ancient delusion?
It persists as the architect’s cold conclusion.The most degrading and painful descent
is the one to the lower “kingdom” crescent,
Shadow throne invoked by seditious implication.
Collusion not coercion, mummified by mediation.Trust not the expedient offer, the beatific start —
They can only embalm the chasms of the heart.© 2026 Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.

Where did he go after he died on the cross? Jesus went to hell. What?
He did not sin, so why would he go to hell? He went to preach deliverance to the captives.
And on the third day, he was raised again.
