The best thing about a computer is that it only does exactly what you teach it to do. No more, no less. To programmers, this can also be one of the biggest frustrations. Sometimes I'll be up at 2 a.m. yelling at my computer, wishing it would do the correct thing instead of what I've programmed it to do.
Sometimes I wish that I were a computer programmed by God and that I always did the right thing. Then I remember that I WAS created and programmed by God, but he didn't program me to always do the right thing... So God must be evil right? Wrong. He created us in His image and allows us to make our own choices.
A lot of groups and organizations like the ACM try to teach us what choices to make. They even encourage us to spread their doctrine and encourage others to make similar choices. This can be a good thing, but God has already laid out His doctrine and we can learn about it in the Book of Mormon and the Holy Bible.
If you are a Mormon programmer, start spreading what the Book of Mormon teaches like you spread your nerdy computer science beliefs. If you aren't a Mormon programmer then read the Book of Mormon and contact the missionaries. Then learn to code.
