I have a problem with these people exploiting and weaponizing my religion for their own profit. Not that they're the first to do it, but it's even more ridiculous to grow up and see the hypocritical "traditionalists" joining forces with hypocritical technocrats.

Fight for your "traditional" values and force them on anyone you disagree with. Put all your faith in the middlemen "chosen by God to lead" all of his creations, act on "God's behalf," and tell everyone else what is or isn't "God's will." Insist on diving headfirst into the most cutting edge unregulated dystopian tech, while accusing anyone who questions your hubris of being a luddite.

Meanwhile, base all social and legal policies on your very literal interpretation of parts of a book that often contradicts itself, was written thousands of years ago, and has been edited multiple times throughout history by power hungry men very similar to yourself. Accuse anyone who questions this of persecuting you because of your religion.

Pick and choose random parts of that book to fit your narrative and justify your actions as a "Warrior for Christ." Very rarely (if ever) will the parts chosen be any of the stuff Christ actually said, but if anyone points that out, just DARVO and accuse them of religious persecution or "toxic empathy." Feed only your cherry picked bullshit into your biased AI. Congratulations, you've created an easy button for blasphemy.
