Is This Religion Also
Protected By The First Amendment?

A high-tech
millionaire has founded a new religion and a new god, this one based on the
belief that artificial intelligence will surpass man, and he proclaims that in
the future, man will worship a divine monotheisticsuperintelligentcomputer.
God Is a Robot and Anthony Levandowski Is His
Messenger, Levandowskiu
Akbar.
Anthony Levandowski,
indoctrinated at the University of California at Berkeley, is the key engineer
behind much of the technology used by the multi-billion dollar self-driving
car industry. His Eminence Anthony
Levandowski filed paperwork in California creating his new religious
organization called “The Way to the Future” complete with a programmed robotic god.
According to Wired, Levandowski is currently
between projects and is using his time to pursue his religion more seriously.
Way to the Future is dedicated to “develop and promote the realization of a godhead
based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and through understanding and worship of
the godhead contribute to the betterment of society.”
I just can’t wait to hear the call to worship of this tin wired
god a dozen times a day.
This new religion
states that “man can make a new god for himself, in precisely the same manner as men
4,000 years ago did when they made a small idol of some strange creature they
just thought up and called it god. Worshipping a computer is like bowing down to
a tiny gold elephant.” The only difference is that this new god has an
on-off switch and needs to be plugged in. Yeah Levandowski 4000 years ago
because of the false god they worshiped, they all ended up drowning in the
great flood.
What they are saying
is, that man can make a god, program him, and then unplug him when he gets
unpleasant or out of control by drinking too much electricity. People who
believe in a god they can entirely understand and control, are to be pitied.
They simply do not understand what God is, or even what man is. They believe in
a created god that is below us, not God the creator that is greater than us. Levandowski is not alone in considering the
theological implications of AI, some technologists believe that a supercomputer
is going to usher in, or even be, the Messiah. More likely it is the
antichrist.
Transhumanism, which mimics the evil that existed before the Great Flood
called the Nephilim, is a growing movement that aims to transform the
human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated
technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology. Many
transhumanists believe that humanity will enter a Messianic era referred to as
the technological singularity, when AI is developed with intelligence equal to
or beyond human beings. This level of technology is expected to be achieved by
or before 2037
The idea of teaching
anything to an intelligence that could rather quickly be far smarter than
humans is contradictory. Another belief is that AI will teach us new things about spirituality
that we never considered or understood. It may tell us how the cosmos were
created, or whether we exist in some simulation theory.
Not only do men of
faith disagree with Levandowski’s belief in artificial intelligence, but many
technologists also question the direction the field is taking. Using decidedly
religious terms, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors and a pioneer
in self-driving cars, warned that such smarter-than-human AI systems pose an
existential threat to humanity.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The question is: Is the so-called religion of ‘A I’ the ‘Way to
the Future’ going to be protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First
Amendment. And will it be tax exempt,
and will it be prohibited like all other religions except Islam of course, from
taking any political stand.
I guess what I am
really trying to ask, is this AI religion going to be treated like a First
Amendment religion just like Islam is, meaning are we also going to allow
robots to kill non-Robots?
Thanks for listening my friend. Now go do the right thing, pray and fight
for truth and freedom.
