(2024)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>"Nothing true can be said about God from a posture of defense."<p>- from the novel Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson<p>I take this quote to mean that most people's idea of "apologetics" (arguing to convince people that the facts of Christianity or some other religion are true) is kind of pointless. You'll never convince someone logically of something that has to be experienced viscerally. LLMs don't help with that at all.</p>
