That would seem to be demonstrating @cstross@wandering.shop 's point, since the Sermon on the Mount has a whole section of Antitheses that define Christianity in opposition to Judaism.
Similarly; the Singularity types cutting a more usual version of the Christian god out of their version of an afterlife and pasting in a god from the machine doesn't change the rest of the structure.

@michael_w_busch@mastodon.online @linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io @cstross@wandering.shop I'm not Jewish and I'm not very well up on Jewish tradition, but I'm a bit surprised by the claim that the Sermon on the Mount is antithetical to "Jewishness." It seems like a rather novel interpretation to me. I would imagine that a common Jewish view of that Sermon would be more or less in keeping with the idea of the "New Covenant" in the Old Testament...
