Racist Christians? Totally impossible! They love their neighbours — as long as the neihhbours are racist Christians too. God forbid the neighbours be Brown Mexican atheists! (If you can’t read the sarcasm in my words, you aren’t a human being, you’re a brainwashed idiot!)

Hi Rawgod. There appears to be a scisum in the Christian religion these days. There is a progressive side that even the Pope wants to embrace, and the racist bigoted Christian nationalist hate churches. The former are more numorous but the latter is far more vocal and influential in the US government. I watch and post several Christian scholars and an Anglican preist. The scholars point out how the hate in the Bible is manufactured / interputed to support the hate in our time because the words used today addressed a different issue in the biblical timeframe. They all demonstrate disgust with the idea of Christian nationalism and Christian hate.
In my life I have met good loving Christians trying to do the best they can to follow the Christ, and I have met those who only used what little they knew of their Bible to support their already formed hatreds and bigotry. A devout Christian saved my life at age 17 by paying to send me to a Christian boarder school. I have heard hate preachers call for me to be killed for being gay. I hope the progressive Christians win this battle of what it is to be Christian. Hugs

Sorry the autocorrect changed schism to a weird word I did not catch. Hugs

AI corrupts the English language. I often find funny and weird malapropisms when I proofread. The worst problem, as I see it, are we hit a wrong key, and AI recognizes a spelling mistake has been made, but it is incapable of deciding where the mistake arises. I really should keep a list of some of their attempts at correcting us. Many of them are quite hilarious.

Hi Rawgod. My issue is I don’t let the AI change the words on its own. So when I go back to proofread, I look for words it highlights as an issue. Because I will not let the program use my writings for AI training and I won’t let them store my writings, I get only the basic support, even though I paid for the program. It worked wonderful until I stopped that part. Now it is hit and miss, wants to put commas everywhere, wants to put weird breaks. It is barely useful. But I can’t spell so I need it. But it lets a lot of mispelled words through as the company tries to force people to enroll in the entire program and let our AI harvest everything you write as part of the program so they can profit from it. HUGS
