God is surprisingly versatile in the good book. Old testament god is totally judgy and throws a plague of locusts at you. Or a flood if you wear the wrong fabric or something like that. Hissy fits to the hilt.
New testament, so Jesus-story god is more chill. He only kills his own son to make a point. Father of the year material.
Now, a lot of this stuff is open to interpretation. One might argue I have interpreted stuff in the preceding two paragraphs as well. I wouldn't argue against that and I'm not going to get drawn into a biblical discussion because I really don't care. I am a lapsed Lutheran protestant and the Jesus they tried to teach me about wouldn't have given a fuck about your sexuality. So if fake LLM Jesus says you do your thing, it ain't my biz who you love, I'm at least inclined to believe it was programmed with a similar interpretation of the story. And while the idea of a Jesus, Mary, and God LLM chat bot is absolutely, undeniably, ridiculously ludicrous, it is almost reassuring that there must be enough training material out there to get it to give that serene a reply.
