We did thank him, by chemically castrating him and making him commit suicide. You're welcome.

Didn't he also help break the Nazi code in WWII?

Thanks, Past-Bill Hader.

Why does it have to involve religion or sexuality?!? Thevpoint being made is completely stupid. It shouldnt matter what he was, or be used.

As a Christian and historian, I tend to not let the religious affiliations of historical figures sway my opinion of their actions. (1/2)

It's impressive how quickly his government turned on him when they found out he was gay.

Look up Otto Rohweder. A heterosexual Christian who invented the bread slicer. Do you even care he believes in God and prefers women...?
szepasszony
As I seriously doubt he was ostracized and had his life ruined because he was a strait Christian: no.

You just watched the Imitation Game on Netflix. Don't lie, that's what happened.

Imitation Game... Great movie

I live in the UK, the only people continuing this argument are atheists insulting Christians. The Christians I know literally don't care.

For some reason @op is triggered about Christians.

Great idea to post it here, everybody knows imgur is a super christiang gay-hating website. You sure showed em this time.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
There's a hell of a lot of homophobic/transphobic shit here, but I'm pretty sure it's not motivated by religion.
vanyathalias
You like computers? Thank this brilliant human because his sexual orientation & religious beliefs aren't the important part of this topic
Aaronspark777
title says religious people annoying atheists/gays by using computers. Same as saying you hate apple but buy their products.
vanyathalias
No, same as hating Steve Jobs but buying Apple (u don't have to like inventor to use the product. Tesla supported eugenics; we still use AC)
vanyathalias
My point: when someone does a thing & it's great. celebrate that person, not identity groups. It belittles the person & their accomplishment
Torxed
Sadly, he wasn't REALLY the father. Konrad Zuse and Charles Babbage and a bunch of others was. But Turing created the first rough language.
Torxed
But I would also claim that without the Z1 developed by Konrad Zuse, Turing would never be on to something. He took a bunch of ideas and ...
Torxed
... and made it better, he bumped progress in the right direction but he sure wasn't the father of computing :)
gospelofmillim
I believe in god and don't care if you're gay and/or atheist. Your propaganda can suck it.
spudcosmic
I don't believe in a god and I can agree that this is incredibly stupid point to make.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
I'm a gay Christian, does this post mean I can't make fun of myself using a computer?
TomPocoTomBien
theresgarlicinthatnebula
I'm hella liberal myself. I honestly don't know how anyone who's gay could be in the Trump/Republican party right now.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
*with the exception of raging assholes like Milo. I completely understand that.
TomPocoTomBien
Gay Christian and gay Republican seem to go together about as well as claustrophobic toll both operator or an acrophobic airline pilot.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Not when you read the Bible properly it doesn't ;D
Thule
Well thankfully he didn't make that his whole identity and focused on other things like computer science.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
And then was chemically mutilated until he committed suicide. But at least he wasn't one of those "annoying" gays, amirite?
Thule
Anyone who makes their sexual preferences a big part of their identity is annoying.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Yeah it's not like straight people structure their entire family structure on who they're fucking or anything weird like that...
Thule
That's just how a real family look. It's not like I make it a part of my identity that I'm straight and feel like I have to tell anyone.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Let me guess, you don't ever actually talk to gay people IRL, right?
OccasionalPunctuation
Yeah, and some athiests are using them for child porn. Being a dick has nothing to do with whether or not you're religious.

For those who don't know, Alan Turing built a machine to crack the Nazis Enigma machine code. His invention was critical to winning the war.
567AngryGeese
He was one of the many people working towards cracking the enigma code, and even then it was cracked due to careless use on axis's part.

Yea yea, we all watched the Imitation Game on Netflix, wonderful story.
stoffo
Well, now you should read something about how it really happened, that's more inspirational than that hollywood pop story.
swagb98623
Is it on audiobook and read by kiera knightly?
AnatolianTiger
Yes the movie is from the book right, hopefully one day i ll read. I have a lot of books to read right now maybe when i finish them.
stoffo
Nope, the movie is "inspired" by the book. Book is a (bit bloated) bio, movie is dumbed down fiction.
AnatolianTiger
Thats what i said man, sorry English is not my native language. Books are always better i agree with you.

The first computing concept was lead by a catholic woman during ww2 i believe.

Yeah but i don't think she could hold the title of father of computer science.

Ava's work wasn't transferable to modern computers. Alan is the king because of his work in defining fundamentals through Turing machines

Stupid autocorrect! It did it to all my posts.
DWandRFaremyspiritbeings
Nope. The first known mechanical computer is a couple thousand years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
Tyrannotron
Arguably, it goes back to the Antikythera mechanism, designed by an unknown Greek who was probably polytheistic.
JoshGuthrie
Computation theory goes back to before Turing Ava or Babbage. What Turing did was formalized the basics of computer science. Math vs science
CaffeineManic
*Ada, not Ava.
JoshGuthrie
Ya ya autocorrect. You got like three more to comment on haha
RyanMcParty
There was also Zuse. He worked for the Nazis. Same stuff, never got funding cuz the Germans thought they were doing fine/
totallyahumanperson
*arrested development voice* but they were not doing fine

Irreal
And he started building his first machine because he wanted to make his work easier.
RyanMcParty
True German engineering.
InspectorMonroe
Concept was Ada Lovelace, first creation was Charles Babbage, both in the 19th century.
tyrunn
Babbage didn't create, he designed, big difference
InspectorMonroe
I'm sure Babbage built at least one small model or prototype. He used *something* to show to potential investors. [1/2]
InspectorMonroe
In any case, Lovelace and Babbage would both be in the sphere of the history of computing.
tyrunn
Oh I agree, Lovelace especially has been left out of history
whywontallthesestupendouslylongnameseverendijustdontunderstand
He was actually known for designing lots of stuff without ever getting round to making them

The less the religion vs. atheism argument happens, the better Imgur will be...
MrRandom314159
But it might be less Imgur. And then people will complain about that. So I guess it'll always go full circle.

I disagree. The less religion has control, the more progressive a society becomes.

Progressiveness? Is that anything like progress?
TomPocoTomBien
It's usually the illusion of progress
BrandonVasser
Atheist in liberal law school and I agree its shifted this way a bit. Moments of silence can be against the law. Other strange outcomes.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
So as a progressive Christian I'm just fucking everyone over?

Since progressives are mostly anti Christian I guess you are fucking yourself over.

Yup, totally, we're back in the dark ages... oh wait, no we're not, but did loose at least a thousand years of development due to religion.

Democracy is the new god and the left are the new religious zealots who use it as an excuse to silence others.

Very difficult to criticize religion when you believe something you've clearly never bothered to look into.

Read the koran, torah, and bible. Regularly met with Rabbis for 3 years to discuss the writings. Also a history major.

Get back to me when you've read some history. I understand though, I too have been a militant atheist.
