Whole Armor AI is a Christian learning community built on faith, wisdom, and mutual respect. These guidelines exist to protect a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. 1. Christ-Centered, Not Denomination-Centered We are a middle-of-the-road Christian community. We welcome believers from many traditions and do not promote one denomination over another. Abusive, mocking, or dismissive language toward any Christian tradition, religious group, or basic belief system is not allowed. 2. Speak with Charity and Respect You already know how to behave. Speak to others the way you would speak to a pastor, priest, or Sunday school teacher. Disagreement is allowed. Disrespect is not. 3. Questions Are Encouraged This is a safe space to ask real questions about AI, faith, Scripture, and technology. No one will be shamed for curiosity, uncertainty, or lack of technical knowledge. 4. Scripture and Wisdom First We value thoughtful discussion rooted in Scripture, Christian tradition, and sound reasoning. Fear-mongering, conspiracy theories, or sensational claims about AI do not belong here. 5. No Culture Wars or Political Fighting This community is for learning, not arguing. Partisan politics and inflammatory culture-war posts will be removed. 6. AI Is a Tool, Not an Authority AI is a learning aid, not a spiritual authority. It does not replace prayer, Scripture, the Church, or the work of the Holy Spirit. 7. Engage in Good Faith Assume good intent. Ask clarifying questions. Help one another learn. Bottom line: If something wouldn’t be appropriate in a church classroom or Bible study, it doesn’t belong here.

Welcome. We’re glad you’re here. Whole Armor AI is a Christian learning community created to help believers understand artificial intelligence with clarity, wisdom, and faith. This is a pastoral space, not a debate arena. If you are curious, cautious, uncertain, or even a little uneasy about AI, you are in the right place. Artificial intelligence is not magic. It is not sentient. It does not have a soul, intentions, or morality. AI is a tool. Like the printing press, modern medicine, radio, television, and the internet, it can be used wisely or poorly. Scripture calls us to wisdom, discernment, and courage, not avoidance. This community is: • Christian and Christ-centered • Middle of the road and not tied to any one denomination • Pro technology and historically grounded • A safe place for honest questions • Focused on learning, not arguing Many concerns about AI are not really about technology at all. They are about fear, uncertainty, loss of control, and the unknown. We address those concerns thoughtfully and pastorally, without fear-mongering or hype. Christians have long been at the forefront of education, science, medicine, and technology. AI is simply the next chapter, and we intend to engage it faithfully, thoughtfully, and responsibly. You do not need technical expertise. You do not need all the answers. You do not need to agree with everyone. You only need curiosity and a willingness to learn. Start Here 1.
