Confronting Christianity with Rebecca McLaughlin What's Wrong with Sex Robots? with Jeremy Meeks

What happens when our deepest longings collide with our latest technologies? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jeremy Meeks—bioethicist, theologian, and expert on all things strange and complicated at the intersection of sex, robots, and Christian ethics. Drawing on the thought of Augustine, we wrestle with questions of human freedom, love, and the lure of transhumanist dreams. Can a robot be a companion? Should it be? And what does the gospel say to a world eager to remake itself in its own image? Together, we explore how Christianity offers not just a list of “don’ts” but a vision of human dignity far deeper than anything our tech can build.
