How do we combat semitic paganism?

2018-10-01 11:35:19 UTC  

Define semitic paganism

2018-10-01 11:38:19 UTC  

Paganism in northern africa and middle east. Specifically the pagans that worshipped ilu.

2018-10-01 12:04:52 UTC  

First time I hear of this and why is this our problem?

2018-10-01 12:12:17 UTC  

Why is semetic paganism bad, if its more related to christianity than greco-roman and germanic paganism?

2018-10-01 13:01:43 UTC  

Related in a spatial sense or theological one?

2018-10-01 13:01:51 UTC  

If in spacial, that is irrelevant to the truth

2018-10-01 13:02:11 UTC  

If in a theological sense, it is still falsehood that should be replaced with the truth

2018-10-01 13:07:00 UTC  

By the way, I have been trying something lately

2018-10-01 13:08:28 UTC  

In computer science, a language model is a program that is able to predict how some text will continue, word by word. This prediction, which is part of the field of artificial intelligence which fedoras glorify to the point of believing machines will come alive, is merely based on how words appear near each other in the set of examples that are used to train the program

2018-10-01 13:08:52 UTC  

The language model is, therefore, trained with many examples of text that will determine how it will behave

2018-10-01 13:09:27 UTC  

So I have trained a language model with a bible, texts from the councils, and thousands of writtings from the Church fathers that I crawled from the newadvent website

2018-10-01 13:09:40 UTC  

The result is something like this:

The end to the Filioque debate

I think the model, whjich takes several hours to be trained (but can be further refined) was properly saved. Once I confirm it tomorrow, I will do some more tests and see what it predicts

2018-10-01 14:11:35 UTC  

Don't go Terry A. Davis on us though.

2018-10-01 14:12:05 UTC  

At the end of the day, machines are man-made and thus don't possess any higher knowledge than man.

2018-10-01 14:27:00 UTC  

Yes, as I mentioned it is just a cu4iosity that feeds on coocurrence statistics

2018-10-01 17:33:17 UTC  

I have a prayer request for my dad. He dislocated his knee on Saturday and ended up pushing the kneecap into hia thigh and the tendon that holds it is just gone. So he has to get surgery tomorrow.

... also pray for him 'cause once this is all done with and he's healed, we're going to tease him about breaking his leg by slipping on a cow patty for years after this. Thats just the kind of family we are: once the tragedy is over, it becomes comedy.

2018-10-01 17:33:55 UTC  

That's not such a bad thing. But I'll pray that the surgery goes well.

Great text from St Augustine in "the City of God", addressed at pagans and their degeneracy, but perfectly applies to democracy and the current world wheere the rule is some kind of pagan hedonism:

2018-10-01 21:08:42 UTC  

But the worshippers and admirers of these gods delight in imitating their scandalous iniquities, and are nowise concerned that the republic be less depraved and licentious. Only let it remain undefeated, they say, only let it flourish and abound in resources; let it be glorious by its victories, or still better, secure in peace; and what matters it to us? This is our concern, that every man be able to increase his wealth so as to supply his daily prodigalities, and so that the powerful may subject the weak for their own purposes. Let the poor court the rich for a living, and that under their protection they may enjoy a sluggish tranquillity; and let the rich abuse the poor as their dependants, to minister to their pride. Let the people applaud not those who protect their interests, but those who provide them with pleasure. Let no severe duty be commanded, no impurity forbidden. Let kings estimate their prosperity, not by the righteousness, but by the servility of their subjects. Let the provinces stand loyal to the kings, not as moral guides, but as lords of their possessions and purveyors of their pleasures; not with a hearty reverence, but a crooked and servile fear. Let the laws take cognizance rather of the injury done to another man's property, than of that done to one's own person. If a man be a nuisance to his neighbor, or injure his property, family, or person, let him be actionable; but in his own affairs let everyone with impunity do what he will in company with his own family, and with those who willingly join him.

2018-10-01 21:08:49 UTC  

Let there be a plentiful supply of public prostitutes for every one who wishes to use them, but specially for those who are too poor to keep one for their private use. Let there be erected houses of the largest and most ornate description: in these let there be provided the most sumptuous banquets, where every one who pleases may, by day or night, play, drink, vomit, dissipate. Let there be everywhere heard the rustling of dancers, the loud, immodest laughter of the theatre; let a succession of the most cruel and the most voluptuous pleasures maintain a perpetual excitement. If such happiness is distasteful to any, let him be branded as a public enemy; and if any attempt to modify or put an end to it let him be silenced, banished, put an end to. Let these be reckoned the true gods, who procure for the people this condition of things, and preserve it when once possessed. Let them be worshipped as they wish; let them demand whatever games they please, from or with their own worshippers; only let them secure that such felicity be not imperilled by foe, plague, or disaster of any kind. What sane man would compare a republic such as this, I will not say to the Roman empire, but to the palace of Sardanapalus, the ancient king who was so abandoned to pleasures, that he caused it to be inscribed on his tomb, that now that he was dead, he possessed only those things which he had swallowed and consumed by his appetites while alive? If these men had such a king as this, who, while self-indulgent, should lay no severe restraint on them, they would more enthusiastically consecrate to him a temple and a flamen than the ancient Romans did to Romulus.

The word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is righteous

2018-10-02 13:07:12 UTC  

And he says kill trump and abolish capitalism

2018-10-02 13:08:26 UTC  

Here we can see the enlightened followers of the fedora monster:

Ew what is that

2018-10-02 13:09:33 UTC  

That thing on the floor

2018-10-02 13:10:08 UTC  

It's a graphical representation of atheism

2018-10-02 13:10:33 UTC  

Described by St Augustine in the paragraph above

2018-10-02 13:11:39 UTC  

They seem pretty cool

2018-10-02 13:11:40 UTC  

But

2018-10-02 13:11:53 UTC  

They’re probs dirty capitalists too

2018-10-02 13:13:19 UTC  

Actually that is the kind of abomination that defends communism

2018-10-02 13:13:35 UTC  

Both share a perverse mind and a complete disconnection from reality
