I'm no expert in European religious history, but it is an interest of mine and I've read a fair bit more than the typical American about it.
I am certain that every church father and major theologian from antiquity to the early modern period would have condemned without reservation the very idea of building a machine to answer theological questions. Possible exceptions, like Ramon Llull, prove the rule.
Given the prevalence of stories about Djinn and Golems in Islamic and Jewish literature, it feels safe to say they would have looked askance at this idea as well.
Treating creedal claims as personal preferences,
False equivalence with non-Christian beliefs,
Framing orthodoxy as one option among many
Wow, I'm a Christian and I am not sure I want to be told those are failures. That list is more akin to what you get in extreme authoritarian regimes. I'm hoping there's some room for Jesus.
I could only laugh out loud at this.
