The show usually is recorded in a pub--that's why there is some background noise on occasion. The topics can vary widely seeing as the Pugsters have different spheres of knowledge and interest, but common themes which appear regularly include the transcendence of God and the meaningfulness of His creation.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:19:49.635117+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088"},"episode":{"title":"What a Friend We Have in AIJesus?!","slug":"what-a-friend-we-have-in-aijesus","published_at":"2026-05-04T08:40:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088/what-a-friend-we-have-in-aijesus","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-theology-pugcast/episodes/What-a-Friend-We-Have-in-AIJesus-e3ilm8h","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/930b87c/podcast/play/119248593/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-29%2F423148994-44100-2-700a26e914536.mp3","summary":"The pugs engage the recent trends of AI companions, from AI friendships to AI Therapists and Soul-Care. Most disturbing are the developments of Grieftech and Religioustech. On the one side, we have virtual reanimations of loved ones who have died but are now continuing with us as AI versions of themselves; on the other side, we have AI Jesus, who we can enter into a online relationship with and receive spiritual guidance and care. The pugs have a lot to ‘bark’ about in this episode.
