A transgender Reddit user found some spiritual encouragement from an unlikely source, but it has the internet enraptured.

“I was feeling sad today so I asked chat gpt to write a fake biblical passage about Jesus accepting trans people,” user Psychological_Dog527 wrote in the trans subreddit. The result has gone viral with thousands of likes on Reddit and graphics shared on other social media sites.

“I know it’s not real, but it gave me some comfort,” they wrote at the end of the post, and the internet has responded in kind.

Here’s how the AI program responded:

And a woman, whose heart was divided between spirit and body, came before him. In quiet despair, she asked,’Lord, I come to you estranged, for my spirit and body are not one. How shall I hope to enter the kingdom of God?’

Jesus looked upon her with kindness, replying, ‘my child, blessed are those who strive for unity within themselves, for they shall know the deepest truths of my Father’s creation. Be not afraid, for in the kingdom of God, there is no man nor woman, as all are one in spirit. The gates of my Father’s kingdom will open for those who love and are loved, for God looks not upon the body, but the heart.

What does it say when a computer understands religion better than some religious people? And other users were quick to point that out.

“I’m not religious at all. Quite the opposite. But having read the bible myself, based on what is written there, you don’t need to make up verses because Jesus did accept and love trans people. Because he preached about loving and accepting everybody, no exceptions!” the top-voted comment points out. “If only all Christians got that memo.”
