“When people are not encouraged to think critically about their beliefs, they may become more susceptible to indoctrination. For instance, if a child grows up without being exposed to different viewpoints, they may adopt their parents' beliefs unquestioningly, creating a generation of followers who do not share the ability to critically evaluate differing ideologies.”

I was discussing Christianity and Judaism with ChatGPT and was shocked to learn that, according to Judaism, they view Jesus as an ordinary man who was crucified but was not seen as divine. Judaism does not accept Jesus as the Messiah or as a son of God, in contrast to Christian beliefs. They also believe that the New Testament, which is central to Christianity, was written by humans, not directly by God, as Christians claim for their scriptures.

I also learned that the celebration of Christmas may have been influenced by pre-existing pagan festivals. Christian leaders sought to make Christianity more appealing by adopting and reinterpreting these holidays, including the tradition of celebrating Jesus' birth on December 25, though the Bible does not mention the specific date of Jesus' birth.

This led me to conclude that some of the practices and beliefs in Christianity may have been shaped by strategic decisions to make the religion more widely accepted, such as the promotion of the New Testament as divinely inspired. The story of Jesus' crucifixion may have been used to solidify this narrative, despite the fact that many Jews at the time did not see Jesus as a divine figure.

What I found especially eye-opening is that, growing up, I was taught about Christianity but rarely exposed to the Jewish perspective. When I questioned certain things, I was often told not to question at all.

Through further discussions with ChatGPT, we came to the conclusion that both Christianity and Judaism (and other religions, by extension) often fail to teach their followers about the contrasting perspectives of other belief systems. The reason for this may be that understanding both sides fosters critical thinking, encouraging people to question the discrepancies and contradictions between the faiths. Without this broader understanding, it's easier for people to remain dogmatically faithful without considering the nuances of other belief systems.

When people are not encouraged to think critically about their beliefs, they may become more susceptible to indoctrination. For instance, if a child grows up without being exposed to different viewpoints, they may adopt their parents' beliefs unquestioningly, creating a generation of followers who do not share the ability to critically evaluate differing ideologies.

I was raised with the notion that you shouldn't question "God," but as I learned more about the diverse range of beliefs across different religions—Judaism, Christianity, Islam—I've come to see religion as both an incredibly fascinating and, at times, problematic subject.

One thing I learned is that in Judaism, prayers are directed straight to God, reflecting their belief that Jesus was not divine. In Christianity, however, prayers are often directed to Jesus, whom Christians see as the Son of God. Personally, I think it seems more logical to pray directly to God, as that is the ultimate source of creation and guidance, while Jesus could be seen as a messenger of God, rather than an intermediary.

What fascinates me about studying religion is the realization that it is such a powerful force, both to inspire faith and to divide people. I’ve observed many online discussions, especially in voice chat groups, where different religious individuals argue about whose beliefs are correct. Instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue, the debates often descend into personal attacks and hostility, rather than a constructive exchange of ideas.

Religion is undeniably a potent tool for both unity and division, and when misunderstood or misused, it can become a weapon of control. At the same time, when approached with an open mind and a willingness to understand different perspectives, it can help foster a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human beliefs and experiences.

By the way. Chatgpt gave me issues trying to create the picture below. I had manually add the "vs"

Wow. Very interesting take. 🤙

In the year 2050, most of humanity was living in the belly of the Earth. The surface was a myth, a toxic wasteland poisoned by the lies of the Authority, the Council of ‘Guardians’ who ruled from their ivory towers above. Below, in the sterile labyrinths of Subterra, people were bred, fed, and conditioned to believe the surface was a death trap. The air above was too thick, the sun too bright, and the soil too dangerous—according to the Authority.

And so, they lived in fear, in constant shadow, toiling in the dark.

Up top, the Council resided in shimmering glass palaces, their lives untouched by the so-called poison of the surface. They wore suits, held galas, and laughed at the absurdity of those below. The people had been conditioned for so long, no one dared question the Authority’s word.

But there was a whisper—an idea that grew like a virus.

It began in a corner of Subterra, where the old code was cracked. It wasn’t just the forgotten message from the surface; it was something deeper, something more primal. **Bitcoin**.

Bitcoin had once been a digital currency, but here in Subterra, it was more than that—it was freedom, it was rebellion. The new world needed a new currency, one not controlled by the elite, one that couldn’t be corrupted by the Authority’s hands. A currency of truth, energy, and time.

Lena, a rebellious mechanic in her thirties, had heard the rumors. “There’s a way out,” they said. “But you’ve got to listen to the code.”

She tinkered with old machines, scavenging the remnants of a pre-Authority age, and found it: The Last Protocol. Hidden beneath layers of encrypted files, nestled in forgotten data banks, was the key to returning to the surface. And with it, the key to destroying the Authority’s stranglehold on power.

It wasn’t just a password or a map. It was the realization that the Authority’s control over Subterra and the so-called ‘toxic surface’ was built on one thing: **fear**. Fear of the unknown, fear of real power, fear of the sun.

Lena gathered her ragtag crew—misfits, hackers, and former soldiers who’d lost everything to the Authority’s iron fist. They all shared a common enemy: the elite who bathed in luxury while the masses were fed lies and told to cower underground.

“Alright, let’s set the record straight,” Lena said with a grin, smearing grease across her forehead. “We’re gonna take their ‘safe’ little world and burn it to the ground. With one small problem for them.”

Her eyes gleamed as she held up a battered Bitcoin wallet.

“They never saw Bitcoin coming.”

**Above Ground:**

The elite, meanwhile, were laughing in their sunlit towers. It was a nice evening, the sky painted with the hues of a perfect sunset. They were enjoying their vintage wines, scoffing at the idea of the people beneath them. The miners, the workers, the hackers—they were nothing.

"Those fools still think we're keeping them underground for their own good," Lord Ignatius, the Council's head, sneered. "Pathetic. They're too scared to come up here. Too weak to challenge us. Besides, even if they could, we’d stop them before they could blink."

At that moment, an unexpected message flashed on Ignatius’s private screen. His eyes narrowed as he read the bold text: **"THE CODE HAS BEEN BROKEN."**

A smirk crossed his face. “Did they really think a few scattered hackers could disrupt us?”

But then, the towers began to shake.

“Report!” Ignatius barked at his assistants.

“The Blockchain…” they stammered. “It’s… it’s spreading! The code—it’s infecting our networks.”

The entire city trembled as the once-untouchable network of the Authority began to collapse. Bitcoin had found its way into the elite’s most sensitive systems, and its decentralized nature was obliterating their grip on power, piece by piece.

Back underground, Lena laughed as her crew hacked into the surface’s mainframe. They were turning the tables, using the very currency the elite had feared to send their empire into chaos.

“I told you,” Lena chuckled, watching the skyline flicker. “Bitcoin doesn't just run on energy and code. It runs on **freedom**. And no amount of Authority is going to stop that.”

---

As Lena and her crew made their way to the surface, they found a world untouched by the lies—green fields, clear skies, and the radiant sun overhead. The surface, once thought to be a wasteland, was a paradise, a land that had been hidden from the people below.

But the Council was far from finished. A battle was brewing, not just for control of the surface, but for the very future of humanity. Would they return to the days of oppression, or would the people reclaim their rightful place in the sun?
