ChatGPT on how to take people away from God

I was sent this by a friend on Reels. I wish I could send the original link but exporting from WhatsApp is a pain so I have transcribed it instead. I feel it's one of these things that really should be considered by every sentient being including those who have a faith but also those who have no faith in other words, everybody.

My current mower I have had for about six years now and I've abused it so much that it is finally complaining, spluttering, going at variable speeds and I suspect that if I take it back to my wonderful repair agents in Kilmersdon they will shake their heads...
