AI Bible Sparks Controversy: A Dangerous Digital Precedent

A new project known as the “AI Bible” is raising serious concerns—not just for Christians, but for anyone who cares about truth, history, and national security. Developed by a company called Pray.com, the AI Bible uses artificial intelligence to recreate scenes from scripture, complete with computer-generated images and dramatic voiceovers. What used to be quiet, sacred moments of faith are now turned into flashy, video-game-style entertainment. The Red Sea parts like a Hollywood movie. Jesus speaks like a character from a superhero film.

To some, this might look like harmless innovation. But when we dig deeper, we see something much more troubling. The AI Bible isn’t just a bad idea for religion—it’s a dangerous precedent for how we treat truth in the digital age. And it carries real consequences for American liberty, national identity, and the moral strength of our people.

First, let’s look at the obvious: when artificial intelligence takes over sacred texts, it doesn’t just “translate” them—it reinterprets them. Subtle meanings are lost. Human emotion disappears. Deep questions get flattened into entertainment. Abraham’s struggle at the altar becomes a movie scene. The deep sorrow of Peter denying Christ turns into a dramatic moment with background music, not a moment that teaches humility and repentance. What’s lost is the very thing that makes scripture powerful: its ability to speak to the soul, not just the senses.

But this is about more than religion. It’s about control.

The United States was founded on the idea that truth is not handed down by elites, but discovered by individuals. Our founders trusted the people to read, think, and decide for themselves. That’s why freedom of speech and freedom of religion are front and center in our Constitution. But what happens when AI becomes the filter through which we see everything—including our most sacred beliefs? What happens when tech companies, not churches or families, decide how the Bible should look and sound?

This isn’t just a theological issue. It’s a national security issue. A people that forgets how to think for itself becomes easy to control. When faith is reduced to digital content, and when scripture becomes something you scroll past like a TikTok video, our moral defenses weaken. That’s the real danger here. Not that people will stop reading the Bible—but that they’ll absorb a fake version of it and not even notice the difference.

We’ve already seen how powerful AI can be when used for propaganda. China uses AI to monitor and reeducate its citizens. Authoritarian regimes across the globe rely on digital tools to rewrite history and suppress dissent. If we allow AI to reshape our culture, our faith, and our values, we risk heading down the same road. The AI Bible may seem like a small thing now—a niche app for Christians looking for a new way to engage with scripture. But the pattern is clear: once truth is turned into entertainment, it becomes easy to manipulate.

This is how nations lose their way—not all at once, but piece by piece. First, the holidays lose their meaning. Then the symbols. Then the stories. Before long, people forget what they were supposed to believe in. A nation without a shared sense of truth is a nation at risk—vulnerable to foreign influence, domestic division, and cultural collapse.

President Trump has made it clear that American values must come first. That includes protecting our faith traditions from being twisted by Silicon Valley. We need policies that keep AI in check, especially when it touches on matters of conscience and culture. And we need leaders who understand that technology should serve the truth—not replace it.

The Bible has survived empires, persecution, and war. It doesn’t need a reboot. What it needs is reverence. And what America needs is a people grounded in truth, not distracted by spectacle. The AI Bible is more than a gimmick—it’s a warning. Let’s not ignore it.
