I mean, I'm not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and wanted to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.

Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn't even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.

This seems to mean that priests can theoretically make any liquid holy, thereby making holy Gatorade.

They've got holy water and holy wine. Why not holy beer.

"This is my piss, drink of it and be holy"

I just checked and it seems that unfortunately not. At least catholic Priests are only allowed to bless "true water", which is usually understood to mean that nothing was purposely added to it (with the exception of certain salts for rituals like exorcism).

So is tap water okay, or only where it isn't fluoridated? What about sea water ? Heavy water ? Rain water ?

More consequences than if it had raped some kids.

[-] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

To be fair if you make an AI and ask it to be an authentic catholic priest you'd essentially have to reward it for such actions because it understood the assignment. Now why you'd make such an abomination in the first place that I don't know. The ways of the lord and all that...

I have been in IT for 20 years, have both a BS and MS in Information Technology, and I will never understand why EVERYONE has such a hard-on for AI; especially given its track record of “hallucinations”.

[-] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Aren't a lot of religions based on hallucinations that specific people have had?

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Goddamnit. Take my effing upvote.

it's what believers crave! it's got electrolytes!

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I mean, water has to be blessed by a priest first before it becomes holy. So, what if the only thing available is a bottle of Gatorade but you have a priest? Couldn't he bless the Gatorade so that the person could be baptized?

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If you mix holy water with Gatorade powder does it become holy Gatorade?

Better move him to a new Parish before they figure what type of AI pornography he's into.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

You can literally do it with spit.... And that's not a hypothetical. You can do it with any fluid if necessary... How is this controversial?

[-] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

As an actual, honest-to-God (Episcopal) priest myself, the idea of an “AI priest” is very troubling.

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The church will make an AI priest before making a woman a "priest"
