Actually, a cult is defined as a small religion, and as one of the largest religions, anything Christians do is by definition non-cult shit.

That's just the plot of Infinity Train.

"Pretentious" is just a dogwhistle for "neurodivergent". Never worry about being pretentious.

Addiction is an abnormal and unhealthy breakdown in the brain's reward mechanisms. Feeling bad for abandoning a friend is the behaviour of a normal and healthy brain. This isn't necessarily an addiction, it's just the bald monkey's brain acting like monkey brains tend to do, rather than being perfectly logical at all times.

I mean hell, humans pack bonded with fucking wild wolves and where did it get the species? It gave us dogs! Dogs are awesome! I bet this AI seems a lot more like a human to the monkey parts of our brains than a wild wolf does. For that matter, we pack bond with a cartoon image of a bear made from inanimate cotton. If a kid can genuinely love their teddy and that's normal, I don't think it's fair to say that a mentally well person can't fall in love with a machine. Now, that person may not be as cognitively developed as most adults, but that's also fairly normal.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to feel emotions for a manipulative piece of spyware. The action doesn't have healthy results. But what I'm saying is, the action in the post is not motivated by mental unhealth. The only things it's motivated by are normal human being emotions, and a poor sense of critical thinking.

Oh well in that case I prefer overtly political games. Like Mario, which is about rescuing the mushroom kingdom's head of state and driving Bowser's soldiers out of the territory they've occupied. You even lower Bowser's flag at the end of each level.

Well, that's two religions, which are both part of the same family and are even arguably the same religion. That data doesn't tell us anything about Shintos, Haudenosaunee, Sihks, Maori, Hellenists, Aztecs, realists, pantheists, Buddhists, Celts, or any number of other religions I could name.

The problem is that people go their whole lives where the only religious people they interact with are Abrahamists, so they think Abrahamism is representative of all religions. But that's an extraordinarily sheltered viewpoint, and no good has ever come of dismissing foreign cultures out of hand with no relevant data.
