Is AI the Antichrist — or just a tool? Christians need to answer this question now. In this episode of Deformed Theology, we explore the biblical, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of artificial intelligence — and what it means for your faith.AI is no longer coming. It's here. And the Church needs a biblical response. We tackle the questions many Christians are asking: Should believers use AI at all? Is AI a neutral tool — like a gun or a car — or something spiritually darker? Could demonic wisdom be behind the rapid rise of technology? We dig into C.S. Lewis's prophetic novel That Hideous Strength, the nature of the spiritual realm, artificial general intelligence, and what Scripture can actually tell us about navigating a world increasingly shaped by machines.This isn't a tech show — it's theology. And we think Christians need to be in this conversation.
