Lisp

Lisp is unamerican.

If you use Lisp, you're an enemy of America.

And if you're an enemy of America, you're an enemy of God, and thus need to be executed in the name of freedom. For the United States of America is the right hand of God.

If God's will opposed Us, We would fail. But We do not fail. The conclusion is obvious. And if there were no God, that would leave Us as the greatest power on Earth to pronounce what is right and wrong, rewarding the loyal and punishing the defiant. Either way, We are the divine defenders of Our planet.

So when you disappoint Us, you're disappointing God.

America is not a  country.

Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar that he dreamed of a large, brilliant statue or idol standing before him. This statue had a head made of fine gold, a chest and arms of silver, a belly of brass, legs of iron, and feet made partly of iron and partly of clay.

Jehovah's Witnesses interpretationIn the Jehovah's Witnesses' interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream,[20] the statue is said to represent the following kingdoms:

The gold head - Babylon
The silver breast and arms - Medo-Persia
The copper belly and thighs - Greece
The iron legs - Rome
The feet partly of iron and partly of molded clay - The Anglo-American World Power
The Anglo-American power is seen as the last dominant world power, emerging from a part of the Roman Empire (the iron legs) first as the British Empire, and then with the formation of the United States of America, to develop into the present-day special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. However the prophecy comments on the general state of human rule in addition to the last dominant human world power. This state is represented by the iron-and-clay, feet and toes of the statue. The iron and clay represent three characteristics of human rule, in general, during the time of the end (Vss 41-43): 1) These are incompatible materials, in that they do not mix. This represents the traditional authoritarian rule uneasy coexisting with democratic rule. 2) The "lack of sticking together" describes the political fragmentation throughout human rule in the last days. 3) The focus of the clay as "the offspring of mankind" represents the common people having a say in how they are ruled during this time.

The "kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and ... not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever", in verse 44 of the prophecy, is said by Witnesses to be the heavenly kingdom established by God, with Jesus as appointed King, which will ultimately bring to an end human rulership. This Kingdom will rule the earth. It is a special government sponsoredby God's Universal Sovereignty (the mountain in vs 35) to restore humans to perfection and restore the physical earth to its original and intended state of paradise.

Jehovah's Witnesses also believe that the sequence of world powers in Nebuchadnezzar's dream parallels that given in the vision in the Book of Revelation Chapter 17, verse 10 which speaks of "seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived". (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece having "fallen" by the time Revelation was written; Rome was the world power at the time - "one is" - while the British Empire and subsequent emergence of the United States and their later alliance was then yet to come, hence "the other has not yet arrived".)

That's weird, because I regard Lisp as a highly american thing.

That would be one more reason to use it.

If it ain't straight, it's Lisp.

Why?

It's born in american universities, it takes a lot of inspiration from the american School of mathematics (Church). And it was regarded like something new and clever from America by the countries who showed an interest in it (Japan, Europe).

Daniel 2 is a chapter of the Book of Daniel, found in the Old Testament portion of the Bible. In the chapter Daniel tells the story of a dream about a special statue composed of different metals had by King Nebuchadnezzar and the interpretation of it which Daniel claims was given him by God.

According to this story, Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylonia, is troubled by recurrent nightmares that he refuses to tell his dream interpreters. But the text is clear that he threatens his dream interpreters with death and destruction of their property if they do not tell him the dream, as well as the interpretation. When they cannot do this, the king then orders the destruction of all wise men in his kingdom.

This apparently includes Daniel, who then goes to the king and asks him for a chance to tell him what his dream was, and the interpretation of it (2:16). This is apparently granted, for then the God of Heaven reveals the dream and the interpretation to Daniel (19), who thereupon explains it to Nebuchadnezzar as presaging what shall be "in the last days" (Aramaic:באחרית יומיא) (28).

Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar that he dreamed of a large, brilliant statue or idol standing before him. This statue had a head made of fine gold, a chest and arms of silver, a belly of brass, legs of iron, and feet made partly of iron and partly of clay.

Then a stone, cut out without the use of hands, enters the dream. It strikes the statue on its feet of iron and clay, smashing the entire idol into dust. As the wind blows the dust away, the stone becomes a great mountain that fills the whole earth.

[edit] Daniel's interpretationAfter telling the king what his dream was, Daniel then tells him what it means.

Dream
32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold,

Daniel's interpretation
37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
Dream
its chest and arms of silver,

Daniel's interpretation
39 "After you, another kingdom will rise inferior to yours.
Dream
its belly and thighs of bronze,

Daniel's interpretation
Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.
Dream
33 its legs of iron,

Daniel's interpretation
40 there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron— for iron breaks and smashes everything — and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.
Dream
its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.

Daniel's interpretation
41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom;
yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it even as you saw iron mixed with clay.
42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture
and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay
Dream
34 While you were watching,

Daniel's interpretation
44 In the time of those kings,
Dream
a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer, but the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

Daniel's interpretation
the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms. The wind swept them away, but it will itself endure forever.
