I feel like making fun of Micheal Jackson has passed into more sad than funny to me.

I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God

But building oracles and such is gross. The who AI pope question was insane.

But I will have to read that article deeper, that’s an interesting wikipedia link

I think they could use a good 40 years wandering the desert right now.

There’s a lot of good Christian teachings that just make the world better regardless of your fear of eternal punishment or any god.

While outside my education I’m sure most religions too, but too many people get caught up in casting out others, or hating the non believers, or doling out punishments they have no right to.

Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.

How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.

I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.

Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.

This gives those vibes.

It feels plain wrong.

I’ve been working at a small company where I own a lot of the code base.

I got my boss to accept slower initial work that was more systemically designed, and now I can complete projects that would have taken weeks in a few days.

The level of consistency and quality you get by building a proper foundation and doing things right has an insane payoff. And users notice too when they’re using products that work consistently and with low resources.
