AI and Faith: A New Way to Think About God
I was scrolling through Quora questions when I came across this one: "If advanced artificial intelligence creates a belief system and concludes that a higher power is required for existence, will this redefine humanity's understanding of God as a concept inherent in intelligence rather than divinity?" I initially pondered the question, captivated by its beauty and depth. Who could have imagined AI, a product of human ingenuity, grappling with the profound? If AI develops a belief system that acknowledges a higher power, it may lead us to reconsider the nature of divinity. Is the concept of God naturally associated with intelligence, or is it unique to humans?

Silenced Faith: The Persecution of Christians in North Korea
Christianity is a clear counterpoint to the doctrine that demands total allegiance to the government in North Korea, a nation where the state elevates the Kim family as gods. For Christians living in the hermit kingdom, faith is an act of defiance rather than only a question of personal conviction. The North Korean government sees religious belief—especially Christianity—as a challenge to its tightly regulated society. Christians are compelled to practice their faith in secret under the repressive government; they frequently suffer terrible consequences should they be found. Affecting not just individuals but whole families, communities, and churches, the persecution is methodically pervasive. Notwithstanding these great difficulties, the Christian community in North Korea is resilient; believers keep on worshiping in secret and hold fast to their faith against great hardship.
