Information Age Prayer: are prayerbots good or evil?

[Sally Paulson]

What do you learned men think of the prayer-bot site, Information Age Prayer?

Information Age Prayer is a subscription service utilizing a computer with text-to-speech capability to incant your prayers each day. It gives you the satisfaction of knowing that your prayers will always be said even if you wake up late, or forget.

On one hand, it's a lot less expensive than hiring a Mexican to do your praying, but on the other hand, I worry because the site also provides prayers for cults like Islam and Judiaism. How do we know our praying robot might sneak in an "Allah Akubar" or two when you're not listening?

In pretty much every story involving robots, they always end up trying to "destroy all humans" and so on. And if they use the power of prayer while they do it, we could be in a lot of trouble. Thoughts?

Our Lord God is NOT opposed to technology! All He asks is that we use technology in ways that bring glory to Him and to His favorite Church, Landover.

Since the link you provided fails to, oh, forward any compensation whatsoever to Landover, we must prayerfully conclude that the site serves the great Deceiver, and anyone who frequents the site will be damned to the flames of Hell. Does that make sense?

I've been tempted to send away for this device. Has anyone used it?

Re: Information Age Prayer: are prayerbots good or evil?

Sister Paulson, I have to say that technology works both ways.

For the reasons Brother Larry Lee already put forward, I can not condone that website.

On the other hand (and this is a little DoF secret...): we have programmed our own prayer bot that crawls on heathen forums (i.e. all of them) and spams auto-posts a nice KJV verse in the relevant threads. So one minute they are talking about the ugly stuff homers do, and the next, KJV1611 posts the relevant Leviticus verse (using our proprietary SinSense™ technology) commenting on their disgusting abominations!

This mostly seem to anger them, but as the verse is followed by a link to our own Godly site - and again, to the relevant threads - they have a chance to come here, renounce their deathstyle, and Repent®.

JesusBot® has been in Beta for a few months, and goes live (RaptureSpider! ) in two weeks time. We plan to infect get as many PC users as technically possible to help us spread our message - the Jesu@home* part of the project.

Baby Jesus provided us with the technology, so I hope this Godly tool will give the Unsaved something to think about. GLORY!

(*They may or may not be thinking that they are helping us to analyze "sounds" from "space" Oh well, in a way, they do. )

I'm no Pastor, so this is just my opinion. But it smacks of slothfulness to me, and we know how much the Lord hates slothfulness.

Also, the Joos have a device for only $14.99 to say their dinner blessings in that Hebrew gobbledeegook. And my rule of thumb is, if the Joos say it's OK, I tend to go the other way.

But, it comes with an LED flashlight, too! I used to think that you could never have enough flashlights, but I certainly don't need one that recites Jewish prayers! Where are our Christian flashlights?

I don't really go for those shake lights. Most of them come with a battery installed that you charge when you shake them. I prefer something a little more durable, too. Plus, you look like an idiot when you shake them.

Now here's an interesting prayer-program. It helps cure diseases by doing what it claims to be "distributed computing" to "fold protien structures" and other sciency gooblegook. It's been said to have gotten results, which means that it obviously makes your computer pray for God to forgive us and stop punishing us with plagues.

Using spare computing power to beg God for forgiveness. What a great idea! Download this program right away, the life you spare from God's jealous rage might be your own.

By the Word of Almighty God, a man may not be saved but through a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus. Praying with or to robots or statues is not sufficient for salvation. In fact, it should be considered the road to Hell.
