I am not religious. I think sermons can be useful.
a sermon is to discuss current events and remind people to behave well, among other things. a good sermon is somewhat personal, related to the community, and meaningful. knowing that the person in front of you, whom you presumably respect, is saying things that they wrote and believe and spent effort forming the wording of, that has weight. some dude regurgitating AI slop removes all of that meaning.
