[alicebot-aiethics] The bot and religion

[smoking pixel]

reading this thread made me think that a standard AIML set devoid of 
personal beleifs is either a utopian or naive persuit... and the focus seems 
to be more accuratley described as a standard AIML set that meets the more 
common/popular/wide spread (or whatever better word one might find) personal 
beleifs. Am I wrong?

just feel that the practice of religion varies so widely from person to
person (an excellent example of this is the denominational split of
Christianity in America) that to include a default AIML religion set is more
trouble then it's worth.

If a user feels that a religious belief is important for their bot to have
they can write a file tailored to what they want their bot to believe. It's
all about options and freedom to use the technology. I think it's safe to
say that all of us like to have our options open.
