  1. Are there any religions that forbid the use of generative AI? I might have to join one of those.. I am actually quite serious, since people in the UK seem to take more seriously religion-based rules than ethical rules.

  2. “A #Yoruba man travels to #Brazil and encounters a #religion built from traditions that people back home in #Nigeria had learned to distrust.

    “Both #religions were foreign. #Islam arrived earlier, through North African trade and political expansion, and captured my grandparents’ generation. That made them chief imams. #Christianity came through organized missionary infrastructure and later Pentecostal revivalism. That made my parents pastors. What this meant for me was a near-total estrangement from any #indigenous Yoruba #religiousSystem; despite growing up in a Yoruba-majority state in Nigeria, speaking the language fluently and understanding most of its social codes.”

    Why do #prophecies from completely contradictory #religions all seem to come true? How can #biblical #prophets, #Nostradamus, and modern #televangelists all claim #divine accuracy when their predictions should logically cancel each other out? What if every "miraculous" prophecy in history succeeded through the same #psychological #tricks rather than #supernatural #insight?

  5. ... Just as the number 4 is avoided like the plague because the word for death has the same sound as the number 4 with just a different tone,
    Chinese people absolutely love the number 8 because it is considered very lucky because the word for it rhymes with something related to wealth or fortune. #religion #China #ChineseReligion #MainlandChina #religions
