Just to be clear, Peter Thiel's theories about the antichrist are the stupidest fucking things I ever heard. This guy does not get literally *any part* of his analysis correct -- theological, exegetical, historical. Even his pop culture analysis is wrong.
Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and MAGA donor, is in Rome this week for a series of private lectures on the Antichrist. It’s an event that the Vatican, and the pope, are treating with caution.

Some day I need to have the exegetical conversation with these people to understand how you read the Gospels and arrive at “the sin of empathy.”

What’s your gut reaction to the phrase exegetical preaching? Joy? Boredom? Intimidation? Anticipation?

If you find yourself doing fancy exegetical footwork to claim that God does not want you to love the stranger and treat them fairly, then I’m afraid you are far from the Kingdom of God.

And it's not like Catholic theology is purely exegetical in an individual sense either, but bro, that's *worse* for you! Don't you understand how that's worse for you?!

If you had done that, they would have felt invited into a long and possibly quite fun exegetical conversation!

I am grateful I can point to this exegetical work. Thank you, Rabbi.
So. Time that a rabbi said it, so I'll be that guy:
The Divine-Authorized Conquest Of The Holy Land is a horrendous, toxic narrative that's been used to justify untold atrocities, including now.
AND it never happened.
Looking at what likely DID happen may actually be critical at this moment.

I'm watching this now. The first claim is "atheists don't know what they're rejecting" (ie if they truly experienced god like believers do, they would believe too, aha checkmate). His first opponent trained to be a priest, and busted out the phrase "exegetical" in the first two minutes.

(currently reading Francis's book on the Gospel of Luke, and the contrast between his airy, breezy - if perhaps slight -exegetical style could not be more stark compared to Ratzinger, who conversely always feels like you're watching a particularly nasty dude carefully wire a dirty bomb)

This is interesting but I’m skeptical it’s original, as it reads both in exegetical content and style like a 12th-13th c forgery - part of the Charlemagne legend
Did Charlemagne consider converting Muslims in al-Andalus to Christianity?

There are no correct interpretations of texts or consensus exegetical strategies that would make LLMs “very good at summarizing texts.” There is no interpretive tradition with a constant, unchanging answer to the problem of a text. There are no texts posing only one problem. This isn’t arithmetic
I don’t think AI couldn’t have some uses if there’s a system that uses consensually-gathered data, and where outputs that may be inaccurate (hallucinations) are labeled. LLMs are very good at summarizing texts. But using them without citing is irresponsible, and obviously the bigger issue…

right, they do have a shared and rigorous core theology, it's just a cultural theology not an exegetical one; and it is not written down because its doctrines propagate better that way.
I don't think it's only evangelicals. Plenty of broadly non-denominational megachurches that preach this exact same way. Nobody here in Idaho calls themselves Evangelicals. But they're basically Charlie Kirk gripping a bible.

Polymarket is a live Monte Cristo simulator but even better than Monte Cristo because of the natural way it weighs in exegetical events. I’m not sure why we blame the market for the issues. It’s capitalism. Every fucking thing is a market including your mind.

You can’t just say “the Bible says ____” - there’s an entire branch of exegetical scholarship to cite to support that claim. AND YET.
