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

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.

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

Poor Mormons can't use Java.

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

import SQLAlchemy as SQLJesus

Problem solved

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

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.

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.

Yes, it is. Please quit our profession and become a Mechanicus Techpriest.

Or, I guess, learn perl - it's sort of into that kind of thing.

Oooh spooky alembics ⚗⚗⚗

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

Oh yes, OOP is definitely a Catholic priest

Future TempleOS user

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.

Based on the comments in here, this joke went over many heads... Does not want to use a tool called Alchemy, but has tried one called Peewee, as in using Peewees in catholic church is ok (Peewees is referred to kids in amateur sports between 12-13 years of age)

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

Just fork it and name it something else.

This man probably hesitates to pick up a screwdriver when assembling IKEA furniture

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

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 😀

This seems like a poor attempt to get out of an assignment. Religion can be so convenient sometimes.

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

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

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

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

Literally telling a chip made of sand how to think. God would be furious.

Feels like a "render unto Caesar" non problem

Side note if you can't figure out how to use psycopg2 in a 5 line tutorial you have even less ability than you thought you did

He's supposed to be using TempleOS and coding i HolyC

That's okay I don't work with anybody named Matthew Mark Luke or John. Don't get me started on Jesus and his ricer Honda.

I recommend SQLitany when flexing your cross joined faith in the DB (daily bread).

The name of the tool doesn't matter, the subject of the OP is still a sinner 👹

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

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.

My favourite is a forum question about a first-person shooter called "Still Not Dead" where you are chased by zombies, floating skulls and spiders carrying upside-down crucifixes: Does this have any satanic references in it?. Good quotes:

I would buy the game if it didn't have any of that stuff in it.

I already told you why, I hate 666 and pentagrams

Preach!

We definitely need more games changed. I consider it to be the major victory when we petitioned that satanic game DOOM to be changed and got Super 3D Noah's Ark
