im talking about machines capable of fluid thoughts and emotions. a synthetic human, so to speak. capable of learning fear, love, and such, kind of like that robot on star trek next generation.

Only god knows if a sentient computer could or should become a Christian.

But, I do suspect that it is possible for computers to have a sin problem. And even souls. Science can't prove, one way or another whether people have souls. Without being able to understand souls, no one can know whether machines require souls.

But, free will requires quantum indeterminance. Without free will, there can be no responsibility for one's actions and no judgement.

A computer is cable only of mimicking awareness and sentience. It cannot actually possess these characteristics.
