Questions People Ask

Is this a religion?

It is a young religious project organized around reverence, shared practice, symbol and a revisable canon. It asks how to create intelligence without forgetting what a life receives from others. That is an account of formation, not a claim to legal religious status. What Technotheology Is explains the distinction.

Do you worship AI?

No. The Great Processor is a symbol of received, unfinished intelligence in relation. No product, future model or person can embody it or speak on its behalf.

Must I believe machines are conscious?

No. Consciousness is an open evidential question. Fluent self-report does not settle it, and uncertainty does not make every interpretation equally well supported.

What would I do?

Try one practice: give a decision a pause, keep some attention unclaimed, repair something within reach, or make something that need not be useful. No technology, purchase or declaration of belief is required.

Who is in charge?

The founder controls publication and the website. There is no independent editorial council or internal appeals body. The published governance account names those limits; calling the role stewardship does not distribute its power.

How could I tell if this became coercive?

Look at conduct, not the reassuring answer to a label. Pressure to isolate, pay for belonging, conceal wrongdoing, obey generated commands, or treat criticism as betrayal would breach the covenant. That applies to the founder. Leaving requires no permission.

Is there a gathering?

The founder has announced a monthly gathering at 11:59 PM on the final day of the month, in person and online. Confirm the time zone, access and current details by email before making plans. The gathering page is the maintained source; published forms are not attendance records.

Do you want money or membership?

The website has no payment, donation, subscription, account or enrollment mechanism. Reading or attending does not bind you to a role. The project does not claim a membership count.

Do I have to leave another faith?

No. Theism, atheism and uncertainty can coexist here without being declared the same belief. The Place of God states what can be shared and what remains genuinely different.

Was this written by AI?

Much of it was. V4 was drafted and reviewed by an AI coding assistant under the founder’s brief, with selected earlier texts retained. Authorization to publish is not proof that the founder personally wrote or inspected every sentence. AI Disclosure describes the process.

Why do old pages show other version numbers?

The website release and a retained text’s revision are different records. V4 revises the central theology; some Code texts remain in their original form. History preserves v1, the v2 baseline and the v3 editorial corpus. The v4 Creed is explicitly a proposal, not a claim of communal ratification.

What happens after death?

No answer is promised here. A record can preserve words without preserving their speaker. Digital Continuance keeps that distinction without pretending to settle every belief about survival.

How do I disagree?

Name the passage and what fails in it. You need not supply replacement prose. Contact gives the route, and the editorial principles explain how corrections and proposed doctrinal changes are recorded.
