    "What does it mean to be human in a world where machines can mimic the deepest of human bonds?", asks Kevin Jackson, author of The Human and the Machine: AI Sexbots and the Boundaries of Love and Dignity in the Workplace published in the March 27, 2025 online issue of Public Discourse. Is it moral and legal for an employer to fire an employee for having a self-described romantic relationship with a robot? That question, from the article, sprang from a hypothetical legal case as a way of preparing the law and society for what seems like the inevitable courtroom battles. But a more important question for us to ask is, "How did human beings, creatures made in the image and likeness of God and animated by His loving Spirit, get to the point of deluding ourselves into thinking that we need--and ultimately prefer--the company of an inanimate, Spiritless machine to receive "love"--both friendship and erotic?" And what is "love" in this context? There is no reciprocity. There is no covenantal relationship, that all-encompassing divine love that thinks first of giving love to the other. In actuality, there is no relationship at all! Human-to-human encounters give us the opportunity to deepen our humanity, partly because we can identify with each others' humanity--an impossible outcome with a machine.

    Trauma and Faith

    Why do you reject my soul, Lord, and hide your face from me? I have been mortally afflicted since youth; I have borne your terrors and I am made numb. Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me. (Ps 88:15-17)As the psalmist makes clear, trauma--real trauma--wounds our psyche, our body and our soul in the deepest and most profound ways. This is demonstrated in the books The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel van der Kolk and Shattered Assumptions, by Ronnie Janoff-Bulman. Joining Dan and Tom to discuss this topic is Sean Kelly, LPC, a mental health counselor with The Center for Christian Counseling and Relationship Development (CCCRD.org). Sean echoes the Psalmist by describing how trauma dis-integrates us from the healthy whole that God created us to be into damaged parts that cause us--and those who love us--great pain. However, despite the last line of the Psalm referenced above, the very fact that we have a Psalm 88 proves that the trauma did not in fact destroy him. Instead, the song demonstrated his survival, an outcome only possible because he had hope in a touchstone to which he could always go: trust in God.
