I’m sure there are other groups that do it too, but I’ve noticed it most often from christian apologists, probably in part case I like listening to debates/discussions with them from atheist youtubers, but I’ve also noticed it talking to christians myself....
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
I don’t think that’s the reason, just an association I had
I guess 1. it might only cover a fraction of comments so if you do it unintentionally and it doesn’t work you don’t notice so that’s a big bias 2. I didn’t try very often so it isn’t statistically significant 3. when I tried it often was in direct or indirect response to the bot so there might be a filter on the bot’s side.

Why do christian apologists say the name of the person they're talking to so often?
