The Robot Priest

[Debi]

Japan is already known for being at the forefront of humanoid robots that take over traditionally human jobs (hotel concierge and elderly companions, for instance). Now they can add robot funeral priests to their list.

Japan's telecommunications company SoftBank just unveiled "Pepper," its robot priest, dressed in Buddhist robes, that can chant Buddhist scriptures, play the drum, and livestream the ceremony for people who can't attend the funeral in person.

this is what happens when people dont care about their own religion. they need a robot to give a sht. its sad to see in any religion.

i can understand religious books, grimoires or a BOS on a kindle, but religious rites should be left to people.
