But the 800-pound elephant/question goes unasked: Why is government in the business of welfare in the first place?

(ThyBlackMan.com) What two witnesses are we referring to? They are the ones mentioned in Revelation chapter eleven. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

As a devout Christian, the notion that an AI-generated homily could quite literally be taken as the Gospel is deeply troubling to me.
