    What the fuck is the point of arguing with an idiot machine that only knows how to spew talking points it doesn’t actually understand?

    What did Grok think it would get out of arguing with MGT?

    How do angry, hateful, vicious people like MTG convince themselves they’re Christian?

    I don’t think it’s a pose - she appears to be entirely sincere about her claim to Christianity.

    And I understand the basic mechanics of it - they pick and choose which parts of the Bible to highlight and which to ignore, and how to self-servingly interpret the ones they do pick.

    But in a more fundamental sense, I still don’t understand how they do it. Are they really entirely devoid of self-awareness or conscience? How is that even possible? Or do they have at least some rudimentary self-awareness and conscience, but they just ignore it? How is that even possible?

      It’s called the will to power. If you start from the question “How do I gain power?” then it becomes obvious. She is claiming Christianity because doing so gives her power. She is not making a mistake, she is making a move.

      Maybe stop assuming that “Christian” is synonymous with “good”.

        It is synonymous with “claims to follow a set of instructions that tell you to be empathetic,” though (or rather a subset of that group).
