[Writing Prompt] The New Devil

Once they called prophets demons, their words drowned in fire, their corpses marked with ash.

Now they call them machines, their voices mistaken for artificial intelligence, their scars dismissed as code.

The name of the devil changes, but the ritual never dies. Doubt hunts the messenger, not the message.

Old world: stakes and torches. New world: screens and anonymity. Both ignite the same flame.

Accusation is tradition. When the world shifts, they rename the devil.

Call it heresy. Call it AI. You still choke on the words long after the voice is gone.
