A new AI app is going viral around the world because it lets people do something unusual and controversial: “talk” to Jesus Christ through a digital avatar. The app, called “Just Like Me,” allows users to chat with an AI version of a spiritual figure, which has raised questions about faith, technology, and what is right or wrong.
The service costs about $1.99 per minute for voice or video chats with the AI Jesus avatar. Users can try it for a short time for free, but after that they need to pay or buy a subscription. The makers say the AI is trained using religious books and sermons so it can respond in a spiritual way.
The app is now getting a lot of attention online. Some people see it as a new idea in technology, while others feel it may be wrong to mix religion with paid AI services.
How the AI app works and people’s reactions
Visually, the avatar is made to look like common images of Jesus, with soft lighting, calm expressions, and slow, peaceful gestures. According to the company, the character is inspired by actor Jonathan Roumie’s role in ‘The Chosen.’
According to the company, the AI is trained using the King James Bible and many sermons, so it can give answers based on scripture and offer spiritual advice.

CEO Chris Breed said users often start feeling connected to the AI after using it many times. “You do feel a little accountable to the AI," he said. “They’re your friend. You’ve made an attachment."
From Buddhist chatbot monks to virtual Hindu gurus, many developers are now using AI to give spiritual guidance. Platforms like ChatwithGod even let users create AI chatbots based on different religions and emotional needs.
Paid spiritual conversations
Users can talk through voice or video, but it is not free. After a short free trial, they have to pay for every minute or take a subscription plan if they want to chat for a longer time.
Emotional attachment concerns
The company says people may start feeling emotionally close to the AI after talking to it many times. They may feel it is familiar and comforting.
Because of this, some people are worried that users may become too dependent on it and that spiritual feelings are being turned into a paid service.
Internet reacts with mixed opinions
People on the internet have very different opinions. Some say it is disrespectful and wrong, while others think it is an interesting technology idea.
Some users also make jokes about it, and a few even say AI might become a new way for people to feel spiritually connected in the future.
Internet reactions and debate
The rise of faith-based AI tools has started a big debate online, with many people saying they feel uncomfortable. “Whoever made this app is going to hell," one user wrote bluntly, while another described the moment as the beginning of a “post AI-Christ era." “Why pay money for fake Jesus when you can go to church and pray to the real one for free lol," a user commented according to News 18 reports. Some reactions were more critical and joking. “I’m an atheist and I sure wish I had thought of this. They probably think it’s real," another user remarked. At the same time, some people showed curiosity and different thinking. “What if this is how Christ comes back? To reach people in our modern world, he comes back through an app? It makes too much sense… the second coming of Christ is an app!" one user wrote. “Death to AI! A grave Insult to everything good, sacred and natural," said another. “For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Mark 13:22," another comment read.

The AI Jesus app shows how artificial intelligence is now entering very sensitive areas like faith and religion. Some people see it as a new idea and innovation, while others feel it is turning beliefs into a money-making service, which makes them uncomfortable.
This debate shows growing worries about emotional AI and digital ethics. As AI keeps developing, people are asking what should stay sacred, what should stay human, and what can be sold as a service.
Whether people see it as modern or controversial, this app has already started a worldwide discussion about faith in the age of technology.
