    Can you distinguish real biblical verses from machine generated ones?

    I'm running a fun survey to test machine learning on the Old Testament. It's ten random verses and you have to decide if each one is more likely to be real, or more likely to be fake, meaning, generated by a computer that has learned from the original text. The survey is anonymous and fun...

    Can teachings of Jesus and Buddha be combined into book?

    Christianity seems to have become polarized. For example Christianity and science seem to be clashing; global warming being the most known example. There doesn't seem to be conflict with Buddhism and science with the dalia lama stating ''If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then...

    Why do Christians defend the horrendously brutal and genocidal God of the Old Testament?

    The god of the Old Testament is evil depraved and vicious demanding complete subjugation. Why do Christians even attempt to defend this, and then further say God is always good and righteous when in fact much of the Old Testament is choc full of God's actions and deeds that point to the...

    Maybe OT cleanliness isn't exactly godliness after all.

    While cleanliness has oftentimes been touted and evidenced in the Old Testament as being something exceptional of note via God's divine direction for his people to remain healthy and long-lived, it appears however, God has apparently overlooked and forgotten a few key points affecting the...

    OT ritual by Jesus and his disciples is missing in the New Testament prior to crucifixion. Why?

    It struck me as strange that there are no accounts of Jesus or his disciples making animal offerings at the temple. The old covenant was still in effect because Jesus hadn't ascended yet and from my understanding it is taken that Jesus and his disciples were Jewish. I found it strange that...
