John Johnston (JJ) reacts to Joe Rogan speaking on the American Alchemy podcast with Jesse Michels. Rogan thinks that it’s not far-fetched to think that Jesus could return as AI.

Could it be from the likes of tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who has talked about similar concepts, mingling Christianity and AI.
