prog FAQ

I will ask mods to sticky this after it gets threadstopped, for now let's pack it full of the most important information a new /prog/star needs to know.

When He Who Transcends All Time and Space wrested us out of the bonds of Egyptian slavery, toppling its pyramid of social caste and shattering its concept of naturalist determinism, it was then that freedom first entered the world. If anywhere today human beings strive for a better world, their story begins with that Exodus. Not just because slaves were freed. Not just because the simple serf could cry to the Master of the Universe as his own Father and the laws of nature would be broken for him if only he comprehends the secrets of the Torah. But because the humanity was lifted outside and beyond the circle, no longer enslaved to the tyrannical millstone of the gods of Nature, Time and Fate. It was then that sentient life on earth was empowered and told, "Take your destiny in your hands my child. Go forward. If this is not a world with which you can make peace, change it, make it so. If you find suffering, banish it. If your karma stinks, get past it. Never be satisfied. Be not the prisoner of fate but its master. Become the mater of the Universe my child, and take the planet for all it's worth."
