Well for one thing it completely misrepresents Christianity. The Bible is clear that salvation is through believing in Jesus and resting in Him as your sole hope for eternal life. But when asked about salvation the bot responds:

"According to the Christian faith, salvation is both by faith and by works. Faith is necessary for salvation, as it is through faith that we accept God's grace and forgiveness. But works are also important, as our actions demonstrate our faith and commitment to following God's will."

Which is a damnable heresy that sends millions of people to hell.

Here's what the bible says:

"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast."

It's pretty clear...




Come on now. By this measure, you know what else misrepresents Christianity? An absolute crap-ton of other Christian people and works. "Actions demonstrating faith" is a pretty reasonable kludge around that idea. I give it an A.

Signed, a catechized, confirmed, and arguably lapsed and now heretical Catholic :)


Bad example. Lots of Christians read e.g. James 2 as indicating both faith and works being necessary.
