“For some evangelical Christians, faith is about having a personal relationship with Jesus. At $1.99 per minute, the tech company Just Like Me is taking that concept to a new level.

Evangelical Christianity is a moneymaking scheme, ministers of megachurches live in luxury, while many of their parishioners struggle to make ends meet.

The Prosperity Gospel segment of the evangelical movement is especially predatory; they prey on the poor and vulnerable by promising miraculous returns on tithes and love offerings given to the church.

It should come as no surprise that an AI Jesus chatbot is a swindle to steal money from gullible evangelicals (oxymoron?)

Suckers can engage in a video call with a Jesus avatar generated by AI. The algorithm offers prayers and praise calculated to please the supplicants and intended to make them addicted to the virtual Jesus.

In some ways the AI Jesus is superior to the historical Jesus. Prayer in a real sense is a monologue, not a dialogue. Jesus never audibly responds to the prayers of the faithful, regardless how sincere and earnest they are. Evangelicals never see the object of their veneration, when praying they picture in their minds what their deity looks like.

Subscribers of this platform can join a video call with the AI Jesus, they can see him and he audibly responds to their queries and prayers.

AI Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want.
