These people don't even read their own literature. The Catholic church's ban on alchemy is about falsely claiming something is a valuable metal in order to pay for debts. It has nothing to do with the occult -- the ban was because it's a sin to lie / cheat / steal. A saint is even on record saying that alchemical gold is ok if the end if product is real gold.

With that context, of course God doesn't give a shit if you use SQLAlchemy as long as you aren't using it to defraud people. If you were defrauding people, it wouldn't matter what tool you used.

Better not tell them about daemons I guess.

Just wait until they learn about Daemons

Yet they say “Easter Eggs”, referring to a Pagan tradition. As hypocritical as it gets.

The user shouldn't code in Python. That's a fucking serpent. It caused Eve to eat the apple. Original sin. Holy shit, the most popular coding language is from the fucking devil! Mask off, mind blown, what the eff.

This is the kind of person who would stick to IDE (with master and slave disks ofc) because S-ATA is only an N away from eternal damnation

I just skimmed this but shouldn't people who are unable/ubwilling to live in the modern world be true to themselves and also not code in some demonic language?

Just skip it and piss off dear catholic

I used to have an rpg on steam, with "fantasy" in the name. One day someone sent me an email asking if there was any way to remove all references to magic from the game so they could play it, as having witches and stuff was a big no for them, but they still wanted to try the game.

It must be exhausting to go through life saddled with so much mental bullshit.

Alchemy isn't even a strictly occult thing. It was something done in the medieval era that was basically a very early form of science before most of the things they were trying to do were considered impossible

Oooh spooky alembics ⚗⚗⚗

Use Ark to compress all your files and place them in a shielded metal box. Save yourself from the flood of solar flares that God will send to rid the world of all the sinful data. Make sure to include exactly 2 copies of each of God’s programs.

[...]tempted [to use] another tool called "Peewee"

Oh yes, OOP is definitely a Catholic priest

This person is really gonna hate my new web framework "I submit to the horned lord, Lucifer, the light bringer and ruler of this world. All hail Satan."

I think it's gonna be big since it's the only web framework for Malbolge.

Poor thing. Wait until they learn what a single python did to humanity.

The sinful tools with occult names work. I think that should be a big pointer here.

Just fork it and name it something else.

Yes, yes it is. So is using Python and Apple. In fact, best you steer clear off of computers.

Yeah well then. Classroom evolution by selection for superstition at its finest.

I'm not Catholic but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Playing games with religious themes is also not a sin, as you are expected to understand the difference between fact and fiction.

My source is that one of my best friends is Catholic

This post was a joke but I once had a woman scream at me for an hour that her account number had 666 in the middle of it. She was extremely upset that nobody warned her about this. She wanted a new account AND a refund for the entire time that the "sinful" account was active.

I should mention that her account was 15 years old at the time. The number never changed during that time it was always the same. She screamed so long and hard that they gave her a credit that essentially covered an entire year of service. I hate it here 😀

They don't have a problem using a tool that is called psycho tho.
