Christianity is Jesus Christ substitutes the sin of a faithful man or woman with His righteousness.

You cannot buy faithfulness, and you cannot obtain righteousness through good works on your own.

The target has never been against wealth, but the love of money, or trusting in the things of this lifetime. For instance, Proverbs 11:28 says not to trust in wealth. Mark 8:36, Jesus states that if you seek wealth over everything else, what good is it when you die? In 1 Timothy 6:17-19, Paul encourages Timothy in his leadership to instruct wealthy people to not put their hope in their wealthy, but to do good with what God has given them.

After that experience, I basically left the church for 10 years, I was so frustrated with many human-related aspects of the church, and I knew I couldn't sit under the leadership of the types of people I went to college with.

Now, to answer your first question, yes there is value. In the same way I'm a programmer, but I don't care about the historical authenticity of who actually discovered the Pythagorean theorem. Some people care, and I think that's great, that's an area of interest for them. Now, the flip side is, Christians should care that they can trust the documents that form the basis for their beliefs.

For your next statement, "most of the students were bored and frustrated...didn't want to know anything about the texts themselves," a person who has no historic knowledge of the scripture should never be a pastor. It sounds like you went to university with people who liked the idea of being a respected leader, and the power that comes with it, and you'll find people like that everywhere, even in your secular workplace.

If you truly believe Christians are extremely anti-intellectual, you need to remember, basically every educational organization (ie even secular universities) were originally founded by Christians in the western world, and many of them were likely far more intellectual than you or I. What's crazy is you can also find extremely anti-intellectual non-Christians, too - there are anti-intellectuals everywhere. Typically big sweeping statements like this are from hurt people, and that's horrible that people claiming to be part of the church were so destructive on the things you previously believed.

There are a lot of bad apples in the bunch, even the bible says a little leaven will work it's way through the whole dough [1] [2].

    const myAsyncThing = async (init) => {
      let value = await task1(init);
      value = await task2(value);
      return value;
    }

    const myPromiseThing = (init) => task1(init).then(task2)

I also don't like how async/await ends up taking over a whole codebase. Often making one function async will cause you to update other functions to be async so you can do proper awaiting. We literally exchanged callback hell to async hell, and said it was better, but I'm not strictly convinced of this.

    1. A terminal shouldn't be able to ask some resource on the internet what to type and auto-execute it.
    2. AI fear/fatigue/???

I understand point 2, I have never cared for any AI hype, it has near-zero interest for me, and doesn't affect my work. Almost every editor has some capacity to ask the internet for data and paste it in, from AI or otherwise, and no one is really sounding a major alarm bell around that. You could argue there is a big push for these integrations to train models, but even that requires a key.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a dividing point to all humanity, and there are many willing to die on either side of the fence. While it has been contested many times, there is no definitive proof that Jesus was not resurrected, and there is pretty solid evidence that Jesus did die on the cross (as opposed to old age or some other natural cause). We also know that the Jewish leaders at the time of Jesus were furious at Christianity, and had a serious campaign to destroy and discredit it, yet it survived. You'd think that with their financial and people resources, they could have recovered a body or exposed Jesus as a fraud.

So, my question is, what trade offs am I making other than a persistant/local db to off-site (ie probably a degree of speed). Since it's free, does that mean my data might be inspected? I'm under an NDA, and my client would prefer his data stays in-house unless there's a good reason for it not to be.
