Alan Turning was the first to have the idea of a "computer" but it was Tommy Flowers that made Alans idea reality not long after by building and paying for Colossus. The top brass wouldnt help him financialy but ordered 10 when he broke the Lorenz code with it

But it is said that God is love. Love means letting beings live according to their nature - that is Tao. So these two views are here the same. The principle of the nature is Tao, is its soul - following one's soul i.e. the tao i.e. true naturality is the highest virtue.

The christians fought in the name of righteousness and god, and looked what damage they did! Definitely a pure destroyer, just look what Spain, fighting under the guise of the name of god did to an entire civilization in Mesoamerica, plundered the rest of the earth, ect. There dogmatic christian motivation meant victory at all costs.
