Chariots of Data: When Technology Becomes an Idol
The Egyptian army had chariots. Lots of them. Six hundred of Pharaoh's best, thundering toward freed slaves trapped against the sea. If you're betting on outcomes, you bet on the chariots. You know how the story ends. Every era has its chariots — for us, it's data, algorithms, and AI. The promise is seductive. It's also a very old promise wearing very new clothes.
Made in God's Image, Tracked by Algorithms: AI, Immigration, and Human Dignity
Somewhere in a database, there's a row in a table. It contains a name, biometric data, and a risk score. The row is also someone's daughter. Someone's father. Someone made in the image of God. From Palantir to Frontex to Aadhaar, the machinery of sorting is global — and efficiency has a way of obscuring humanity.
"You're On Your Own": The Tech-Bro Gospel vs. Biblical Community
In a recent interview, Palantir CEO Alex Karp offered this bit of wisdom: "You are largely on your own. The more you recognize that, the better." It's the kind of statement that sounds profound at a TED conference. It's also profoundly lonely. As Christians, we should recognize it for what it is: a competing gospel.
Power, Pixels, and Providence: A Christian Response to AI in the Age of Palantir
The recent DealBook interview with Palantir CEO Alex Karp offers Christians a window into how the world's most powerful technology leaders think about artificial intelligence, national security, and human values. As believers called to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves," we must thoughtfully engage with these developments—without falling into the traps of either nationalism or naivety.
AI and the European Church: Wrestling with Post-Christian Technology
June 2023: 300 people packed St. Paul's Church for an AI-led worship service—"98% from a machine." Jonas Simmerlein's experiment sparked continental conversation. From Vatican ethics frameworks to Orthodox mysticism, Eastern European surveillance memory to British monastic innovation—European Christianity brings 2,000 years of wisdom to 3-year-old technology.
AI and the Asian Church: Ancient Wisdom Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Christianity in Asia faces AI's most complex intersection—surveillance states tracking believers, Korean missionaries using tech globally, Indian churches navigating Vatican guidance, Japanese Christians as tech minorities. Ancient contemplative wisdom meets bleeding-edge AI research. The result? Perspectives the global Church desperately needs.
The Dangers We Must Not Ignore: Church Leaders Sound the Alarm on AI
While 91% of church leaders support AI, prophetic voices issue urgent warnings: loss of humanity, algorithmic manipulation, pastoral replacement, and truth crises. Not fear-mongering—wisdom for navigating AI's genuine risks without abandoning its potential.
