Topic: FAO: Father Merrin
The Inquisitor started this discussion 6 years ago #88,097
If you are truly a Catholic priest, then you would have learned Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Latin in seminary. Would you mind if I tested you in those languages, to see if you are a real priest? As an educated scholar, I am fluent in those. I would like to ask you some questions. If you really are a priest, then you should have no problem answering them.

A Catholic priest would necessarily be fluent in Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Latin (ignoring the fact "Latin" takes many forms)? Do you really believe this?

I know for a fact that he would, just as I know that you are Joshy, and you are trying to get yourself out of having to do my challenge because you are not a real priest.

He didn't reply to the even more basic question of which holy order, if any, he belongs to. He didn't seem to understand the question, or indeed know that Catholic priests can either be secular or religious. If he's secular/diocesan he won't have had the same level of training as you get in a seminary run by a religious order (and therefore wouldn't necessarily know all those languages). He also would not have had to take a vow of poverty.

As a Catholic Pastor, I can confirm what OP is saying. We have to study all of those languages. However, I am not the one being tested here, so I must abstain.
From reading his posts, I have some reason to doubt the so-called Father Merrin, especially because of a recent thread where his mind immediately went to perverted thoughts.
I hope that he can regain some credibility by answering OPs queries.

That is arguably the most difficult order to become a member of - something like 14 years of intense study? I salute you. Jesuits were just as anti-Luther as Theatines but more hip, as I understand.

> Would you mind if I tested you in those languages, to see if you are a real priest?
Firstly, go test the Pope on his "fluent Biblical Aramaic" (which you claim to have, despite the awkward fact of nobody in the world being "fluent" in such a language because it is literally impossible). Then when he fails your test, let me know if you've proved he's not the real Pope.
> As an educated scholar, I am fluent in those.
If you only knew how nonsensical "I am fluent in Biblical Aramaic" is you wouldn't have napalmed your own shtick with it. As it is, congratulations, it's quite an achievement to expose your own ignorance while offering to challenge someone's knowledge.
> I would like to ask you some questions.
If your questions are about Latin, go right ahead. A word of advice before you start Googling "Difficult questions about Latin grammar" though - start by familiarizing yourself with which form of Latin you're going to pretend to know.
> If you really are a priest, then you should have no problem answering them.
And we'll end where we began: with that object lesson again.
You have yourself a blessed day my child.

If you are talking about the Aramaic of Jesus, then no you can't, because it is literally impossible. And if you are talking about the Aramaic of modern Assyrian tribes of Iraq then we come back to your nonsensical claim that every Catholic priest is necessarily fluent in it (you might as well claim that seminaries teach Swahili for all the relevance it has to the Bible). So which is it? Are you lying about the first claim or the 2nd one?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier#Computing
"Not to be confused with the many systems of unique identifiers, many of which have non-unique proper names such as Unique Identifier, UID, or Unique Identification Number.
With reference to a given (possibly implicit) set of objects, a unique identifier (UID) is any identifier which is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. There are three main types of unique identifiers, each corresponding to a different generation strategy:"
"serial numbers, assigned incrementally or sequentially
random numbers, selected from a number space much larger than the maximum (or expected) number of objects to be identified. Although not really unique, some identifiers of this type may be appropriate for identifying objects in many practical applications and are, with abuse of language, still referred to as "unique"
names or codes allocated by choice which are forced to be unique by keeping a central registry such as the EPC Information Services.
The above methods can be combined, hierarchically or singly, to create other generation schemes which guarantee uniqueness.[citation needed] In many cases, a single object may have more than one unique identifier, each of which identifies it for a different purpose. In relational databases, certain attributes of an entity that serve as unique identifiers are called primary keys."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier#Computing
"Not to be confused with the many systems of unique identifiers, many of which have non-unique proper names such as Unique Identifier, UID, or Unique Identification Number.
With reference to a given (possibly implicit) set of objects, a unique identifier (UID) is any identifier which is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. There are three main types of unique identifiers, each corresponding to a different generation strategy:"
"serial numbers, assigned incrementally or sequentially
random numbers, selected from a number space much larger than the maximum (or expected) number of objects to be identified. Although not really unique, some identifiers of this type may be appropriate for identifying objects in many practical applications and are, with abuse of language, still referred to as "unique"
names or codes allocated by choice which are forced to be unique by keeping a central registry such as the EPC Information Services.
The above methods can be combined, hierarchically or singly, to create other generation schemes which guarantee uniqueness.[citation needed] In many cases, a single object may have more than one unique identifier, each of which identifies it for a different purpose. In relational databases, certain attributes of an entity that serve as unique identifiers are called primary keys."

You're literally quoting something that's disagreeing with you. I know what a UID is. On TinyBBS, each account is associated with a unique ID. It's utterly unrelated to what you choose to use as your name. If you switch from posting under "Syntax" to "Matt", your UID remains unchanged. It uniquely identifies an account.
Unless your point is that the UID is the identifying string itself, and not the account (profile) the UID refers to. You'd very technically be right, but you're arguing against how the vast majority of people use the term; it uniquely identifies a unique object.

> You'd very technically be right, but you're arguing against how the vast majority of people use the term
LoL OK - You got my point because it turns out the vast majority of people is what 100 people at most on our planet.
Bottom line no matter how it's argued - If a person posts on their cell phone in one room and moves to their computer in another room and posts - They are the same person - They may even decide to post on cell phone and then make a new post with a new moniker - They might as a few here do and even change their sex instantly - used to be a rule against that on this chan.
They can post with multiple IP's if they go from phone to computer and computer has VPN service. They can even use another scheme as I do on occasion (even more than on, occasion)
Now frankly I find it funny that one and only one Idiot here says I post with one UID and talk to myself with another UID - He continues to make that claim - At least a mod recently pointed out I do not do that. (Nor have I ever considered the instant sex change - I think ninjj does that.

Fair enough. UIDs for our purposes don't intend to uniquely identify people though, but merely TinyBBS accounts. That's a normal use of the term UID, and it doesn't mean to imply a single person can't own hundreds.

Ah OK yes I see - Accounts with no limit on the number of accounts one can own. A few added things I could add to this but it wood blow one of my covers and for lurkers clearly my wood does the job a UID does - On occasion, not often an entry point here that so far not one person has accused me of doing, so for now I am going to keep it that way.

The 'U' in "UID" stands for "Unique", not "User". UID is the correct term to use for the primary key of the users table in a BBS like this one and TinyChan, and indeed this is what it's called in the source code:

The code will work just as well with
$tables['idiots'] = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `idiots` (
`idiots` char(23) NOT NULL,
...
PRIMARY KEY (`idiots`),
