A look at ACTS 17 Collective, a nonprofit devoted to introducing Christianity to technologists by asking Peter Thiel and other executives to discuss their faith
www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... @rinkytone : “We were always taught as Christians to serve the meek, the lowly, the marginalized. I think we've realized that the rich, the wealthy, the powerful need Jesus just as much,” says founder of Anduril Industries, a maker of high-tech defense systems and weaponry. — www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... David King / @cityplanning : Peter Thiel's (and Musk's) embrace of Christianity is all part of their paranoid worldview, too. It's incoherent, but that doesn't matter for tearing down the state. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... @kpwroth : A one-world government would be worse than nuclear holocaust? These SV types truly are just so fucking weird. So creepy. — So much in this piece is so revealing about their insatiable hunger for power, and maybe more fundamentally, desire to be accepted. Total losers. — www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... … Rudy Auerbach / @rudyauerbach : Tech oligarchs portrayed as Christians in uncritical puff piece at the Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... Geoffrey / @littlegeo : Wow this @nytimes.com story is the cringiest thing I have read in a while #christianity #techbro #oligarch #nashville #billlee www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... Sujay Kumar / @sujaykumar : 'If you've been called to be a graphic designer,' Mr. Pilgreen said, 'that's a sacred vocation.' www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... Stan / @stanabrams : Threw up in my mouth when I read this. What's worse than a tech bro? A tech bro who rationalizes (launders?) his bad acts through religious faith. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... @malletgoat : www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b... I don't know who Thiel's spiritual advisor is but they have work to do. As for Musk's “big believer in the principles of Christianity,” he needs to reread Matthew 7:16-20. Mastodon: Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis@mastodon.social : Good Lord. As if Thiel and his AI billionaires weren't bad enough, now they say they have God on their side: prosperity theology meets #TESCREAL. — Good reporting by Emma Goldman.
