    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.

      On that note, I sure hope he doesn’t uses any Apple products either.

    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

      If they understood the difference between fact and fiction they wouldn’t be a catholic. They’re supposed to believe that crackers and wine literally turn into Jesus’s body and blood by saying an incantation. Alchemy makes more sense than that, so I could see some people having issues.

    Reminder that alchemy didn’t go away, it evolved into modern chemistry. So of you think alchemy is occult then you better take a good look at all the engineered chemicals around you and either accept your place in hell or go live in a cave.

      Hehe. I get it. But it’s not really true. It’s like saying a horse evolved into a car or an Ox into a tractor. Just because it replaced it or did the same job doesn’t mean it’s related or the initial thing didn’t go away. Alchemy is putting together random substances to create gold. Chemistry is backed by science and rooted in reality. It’s probably closer related to cooking (where you also mix substances) than to alchemy 😉 Pseudoscience didn’t do away, but I’m positive alchemy did.

    Is there a link to the original post? I want to see the replies. Unfortunately I can’t find it.

    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.

    I don’t see how the term “Alchemy” is any different than “Transubstantiation”, and the Catholic Church seems pretty down with that.

    Imagine living your entire life with this kind of fear. Religion does crazy things to people’s minds.

    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.

      Lucifer and Satan aren’t the same entity.

      These are titles not names

      • Depends on how you interpret the Golden Age text. But you’re correct that the former is the light bringer and the latter is adversary/legal opponent.

        But the silver age crap messed with that canon.

        My head canon is that Lucifer was a member of the Q Continuum while Satan was a misunderstood Time Lord.

        The Pope needs to have a sit-down with the folks at Disney to learn how to properly manage a shared imaginary universe.

          Bro, you’re not in high school anymore. No one is impressed that you threw a fit when Mom took you to church that one time.

          Also I wouldn’t get Disney’s help for a shared imaginary universe, considering the Marvel Cinematic Universe was cool, but it’s been going on too long, none of the shows are any good.

          It really should have ended it end game, because it just feels like every movie now is just build up for a different thing, and the only part of it anyone cares about anymore is what Spider-Man meme are they going to do?
