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'm shocked that a person who thinks the name of a piece of software can harm them doesn't understand their own religion.

I mean, these are the same people who won't watch Big Bang Theory because the title is heretical, or believe that playing Magic the Gathering or Pokemon TCG are literally summoning demons and spirits into the world, or who believe that playing D&D is doing the same. Rationality is not exactly their strong suit.

I mean they did 'read a book' and it became the real world to them

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Lol, yeah, that is exactly how The Bible works for them.

Yeah they should not watch Big Bang theory for the same reasons as the rest of us. ..Because of the shitty writing.

Now of course one could make some damning argument about the state of the tech industry in practice, resulting in one of those bell curve memes with "using SQLalchemy is a sin" on both far sides and "noooo it's just a name it's fine there's no fraud involved" in the middle

Jesus, he knows me, and he knows I'm right

Well, god generally doesn't give a shit at all if he exists, so there's that.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

God would have to exist to give any shits at all

And here i thought they banned alchemy because they learned from a copper trader.
