Well I doubt whether the concept of a true AI that is indistinguishable from a genuine person is actually possible, I'm basically certain of these two points
1) No matter the complexity, a machine cannot be conscious. Consciousness is metaphysical, our consciousness (i.e. the actual sense of "being", having thought, experiencing) is not synonymous with our brain structure. The interplay between the two and to what extent they interact is basically still a total mystery, but that they are distinct, to me, is basically incontrovertible. Therefore even a maximally complex machine should not have consciousness unless imbued with such by some metaphysical actor.
2) From a Christian (True) perspective: Humans are made by God and in the image of God, machines are made by man who has no power to recreate the image of God. Therefore, no machine can be of equal worth to a Human being.
But I pray that such useless contraptions are never created, Lord knows what society could become. Liberals already have enough trouble admitting the divine nature of human life, it would not be long before demands that we treat these walking puppets with "equal rights" to actual people, and even worse, think of how much the anti-social neuroses consuming society would worsen when you could literally fabricate convincing artificial people to suit your whims/fetishes/etc.

No credible christian body, or just general Christian population has thought that way about blood transfusion (Jehovah's aren't Christians in case you don't know), stop taking atheist pseudo-history of Christians being backward Luddites seriously, Christian civilizations have been the most technologically advanced on Earth for as long as there have been Christian civilizations. That doesn't mean that any perverted thing you'd like to do with technology is right.
