The Death March Of Evil - Satan’s Useful Idiots Using AI To Mock God
Over the last week, Satan’s useful idiots have been on the move.
Recently, we covered the issue of “AI gods & ChatGPT Religions” in great detail, pointing out that idolatry is running wild, as man tries to convince himself that he’s God.
As we shared in the March 18th edition of We Are The Watchmen Weekly, we’ve seen rapid growth in the areas of technology, to the point that we now see some of that technology beginning to try and think for itself.
That includes the Japanese AI “robot god” Mindar, the Portuguese AI “robot god” SanTo, and Xian’er, an AI monk in China that “recites mantas and offers guidance on matters of faith.”
Before we move on, let’s meet the Mindar robot:
And, the SanTo Robot:
Satan is on the prowl once again this week, working hard to convince men that they are God.
Up first, a story from Germany about a ChatGPT sermon:
A quote from the article:
The 40-minute service — including the sermon, prayers and music — was created by ChatGPT and Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna.
“I conceived this service — but actually I rather accompanied it, because I would say about 98% comes from the machine,” the 29-year-old scholar told The Associated Press.
Commentary - Hard Stop: Yes, you read that right: ChatGPT created 98% of a service in a modern Christian church.
Let’s be clear on this right now: “AI” is a creation of man, period.
If we understand scripture, we understand that we were born into sin, that our heart is deceitful and wicked, and that we have a sinful nature.
As we are told in Jeremiah 17:9:
9. The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
And we’ve created a tool with AI in our own image, and the majority of people who create it are not believers in our one true God.
Then, that AI is worshipped… as a god.
That’s idolatry. And it grieves God.
As he told us in Exodus 32:8:
They are soon turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
We’re also told to stay away from such things as told in 1 John 5:21:
Little children, keep yourselves from idols, Amen.
And Romans 1:25-27, where we are told about the action of idolatry, and what it leads to:
25 Which turned the truth of God unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator which is blessed forever, Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
27 And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves such recompense of their error, as was meet.
Does that sound or feel to you at all like the world today?
Before we continue, we wanted to share a recent interaction with the new “jesus.ai” technology that’s now online, to show you what we’re dealing with:
We asked about homosexuality in the bible, and jesus AI proceeded to tell us that “Jesus did not directly address the topic. Instead he taught us to love and accept everyone regardless of their beliefs or circumstances…”
Let that sink in for a second.
This AI engine is going to influence the behavior of MILLIONS of lost people asking a question like this.
Homework: In order to have this conversation meaningfully outside of the four walls of the church, you need to educate and arm yourself with current information like this, and pick out one highlight that you want to open the conversation with:
“Did you see that article from the Associated Press about the robot sermon in Germany? It was weird to me… and I saw that some people there said the same thing…”
This is going to get them asking you questions, whether they’ve seen it or not.
If they haven’t seen it, they are going to be very curious…
If they have seen it, they are probably wondering if you have any answers to why its making them feel confused.
From there, you can actually show them the videos of the AI god robots from around the world so that they can see how bad this all is.
You’re opening their eyes… Praise God!
Let’s continue with the article:
The AI church service was one of hundreds of events at the convention of Protestants in the Bavarian towns of Nuremberg and the neighboring Fuerth, and it drew such immense interest that people formed a long queue outside the 19th-century, neo-Gothic building an hour before it began.
The entire service was “led” by four different avatars on the screen, two young women, and two young men.
Some people enthusiastically videotaped the event with their cell phones, while others looked on more critically and refused to speak along loudly during The Lord’s Prayer.
Heiderose Schmidt, a 54-year-old who works in IT, said she was excited and curious when the service started but found it increasingly off-putting as it went along.
“There was no heart and no soul,” she said. “The avatars showed no emotions at all, had no body language and were talking so fast and monotonously that it was very hard for me to concentrate on what they said.”
Commentary - Hard Stop: The quote from Heiderose Schmidt is a priceless treasure for the gospel.
“There was no heart and no soul in the service.”
Why?
For those who are saved, it’s obvious: God was not in it.
For those who are not, think about what’s happening in this situation before you talk with them:
Now you have man, believing he is God, expressing that belief with the creation of false idols that look, feel, and sound practical to those who are not in the word.
You’ll hear things like this, from those who will try to justify it to you:
“Come on, it’s the EXACT word you get in the bible…”
“It’s not like it’s TRYING to be God or anything. Stop being so crazy…”
“Don’t you feel better not being mislead?”
And that type of “justification” is the pride and idolatry that curses future generations. As we see in 2 Kings 17:17:
And they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used witchcraft and enchantments, yea, sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to anger him.
We also the truth of what you get in building false idols, as we see in Psalm 115:4-5:
4 Their idols are silver and gold, even the work of men’s hands.
5 They have a mouth, and speak not: they have eyes, and see not.
Which is exactly how the Mindar robot in Japan is described:
“If you look closely, a camera lens stares out of its blank eyes as it recites the prayer and gazes out over the worshippers.”
No heart and no soul, my friends.
And even non-believers are going to feel something is off with all of this, that they can’t express in words…
And that’s where you come in.
In conversations, helping non believers understand that the “gut feeling” they have about the situation is a gift that’s designed to help them discern the truth, and the answers that they’re looking for are going to make a lot more sense now that they understand the gift.
You’re taking steps to make a disciple… Amen!
Up next, we’ll review another move from Satan through one of his most useful minions, Yuval Noah Harari.

Yuval Noah Harari: Satan’s Chief Minion
Have you heard the name Yuval Noah Harari before? Be ready…
This self proclaimed homosexual, atheist, Jew (how does this work?) is a top advisor to the World Economic Forum and its leader, Klaus Schwab, who believes the world needs a “great reset” which includes population reduction, ownership of nothing for the average person yet being happy about it, and you being changed into a controllable & godless cyborg as a part of the 4th. Industrial Revolution.
And that’s just scratching the surface.
Harari was in Portugal recently with journalist Pedro Pinto at an event on the future of humanity.
And, true to form, Satan’s Chief Minion did his bidding.
Let’s take a look at how he did it, with information from The Christian Post and actual video clips from the interview.
Almost right out of the gate, Harari explains how we are “almost like gods” already… and why we are a terrible creation. Click Here or below to watch (39 seconds):
Commentary - Hard Stop:
Harari goes down the idolatry and mocking-of-God road right out of the gate in this interview. We’re shown in scripture how that type of thing doesn’t end well:
As we are taught in Galatians 6:7:
7 Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
15 Therefore the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising early and sending: for he had compassion on his people, and on his habitation.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his Prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and till there was no remedy.
Pause for a moment and make an intentional note here: Isn’t it interesting how Harari talks about how we are “almost like gods” then proceeds to talk about all of the ways we are evil and wicked?
That will be important in a moment. Let’s continue:
Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli author, professor and advisor to the influential World Economic Forum, believes AI is not only on the brink of creating a new religious text, but one that Harari asserts might actually be true.
Harari made the stunning claim during a conversation on AI and “the future of humanity” with journalist Pedro Pinto last month in Lisbon, Portugal, in which he compared the rise of AI computer power with other history-altering inventions like the printing press.
But unlike the printing press or its Gutenberg Bible, Harari explained, AI has the potential to come up with entirely new ideas distinct from prior human development.
“The printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page,” he said. “It had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good, is it bad, how to interpret this, how to interpret that.
“AI can create new ideas. [It] can even write a new Bible.”
Commentary - Hard Stop:
First, here’s the clip of Harari talking about this. Watch beginning at 7:18 up to 8:45:
Now, let’s go back to the note from a moment ago:
Pause for a moment and make a note here: Isn’t it interesting how Harari talks about how we are “almost like gods,” then proceeds to talk about all of the ways we are evil and wicked?
This is a slight of hand and twisting of words by Satan, which is his specialty.
Like with Eve in the garden, he teases you with “we’re almost like gods” but then hits you with the truth that we are born into sin and our hearts are wicked.
So, the question is this:
If we create AI and we are sinful and flawed, then how would our ability to “write a new bible” hold any truth whatsoever?
Spoiler Alert: IT CAN’T.
We are warned about this in scripture:
In Daniel 12:4:
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book till the end of the time: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
And in Hosea 4:1:
1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
And Hosea 4:6:
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast refused knowledge, I will also refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
And in Jeremiah 4:22:
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me: they are foolish children, and have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do well they have no knowledge.
Homework: When you are talking with non-believers, these are really important points to bring up. Man making the statement that he can create perfect things, when he himself if flawed, will make even non-believers question the logic behind Harari’s statements.
Let’s wrap up:
Towards the end of the interview, Harari moves the discussion to the “Christian Fantasy” of the soul and body being separate, and that heaven, in essence, is a “Christian myth.”
Watch his explanation below, beginning at 28:56 and running to 32:37:
Harari makes the argument about what we “really are.”
We don’t have to guess because scripture tells us.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
And in Ecclesiastes 12:7:
7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
In His great wisdom and mercy, the Lord even explains to us that our earthly bodies will be replaced by glorified bodies when we return to reign with him as seen in Philippians 3:20-21:
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
As we can see, we’re not just “animals.”
Homework: Take the time to understand these scriptures and get comfortable with them. Once you do, you can bring up this video in casual conversation and point out the odd statements that simply don’t make sense.
This is a great way to open up a deeper conversation.

The US Christian Chamber Of Commerce: A Powerful Bullhorn For The Word Of God
“I want the community to know we are not a political group. We are not a radical group. We are a group of business professionals who are passionate about growing our businesses and our faith,” said David Roznowski, president of the West Ohio Christian Chamber of Commerce.
“We are businesses, organizations, and individuals who are Christians and uniting on purpose. That purpose is to further the Kingdom of God, to bring glory to God and to represent him well in the marketplace.”

Friends, we are in a VERY SENSITIVE time. Satan has largely unmasked himself and operates openly, as he believes that he’s deceived enough people and nothing can be done to stop him.
As he’s always done, he underestimates the power of God, and those who serve him.
And remember: Satan can only do what God has granted him right to do. Satan is a weak coward… like an empty shirt laying in the corner. His deception is the only thing that gives him any power.
As you have this conversation with people, share with them the simple and clear scripture that connects these dots. It may be the one thing that they hear that brings them to Christ.
We Are The Watchmen Weekly provides easy and practical ways to tie scripture into what’s happening right now.
