#AUDIO HIJACK AND DICTATION TRIAL#
(The trial version imposes noise after a recording time of 10 minutes - so you can do endless experimenting - and get plenty confused - at no cost, as long as each sound example you experiment with doesn't exceed 10 minutes.)įor example, a command in AS can be captured as a sound file when the script is run. I don't remember whether there was any capability for "speech-to-text," but it was certainly possible to create sound files with it - including from system sound. But working with it with Applescript proved pretty daunting and I ran out of time to work on it (it is a scriptable application). Rogue Amoeba has several versions of this, including some for earlier operating systems. Faith Lies deconstructs the terrible notion that faithlessness and fundamentalism are our only options.I haven't had time to explore etresoft's latest suggestion.īut I had an intense interest in this subject some time ago and stumbled across this: While the loud voices at the margins adamantly declare faith either completely irrelevant or capable of being contained in one narrow ideology, most people get lost in the mix, feeling no certainty or comfort in either direction. Real faith actually requires doubt, criticism, and exploration in order to change us-let alone change the world. LIE 7 - Real Faith is Blind Belief - The idea that true faith has no doubts or questions creates a powerless and impotent faith that discourages critical thinking and fosters the ridiculous assumption that science and faith are unrelated. We require others to undertake our journey, and others need us, too. The spiritual life has always been a communal life. LIE 6 - Faith is a Private Matter - Much like whom we voted for in the last election or how much money we make, people have wrongfully accepted the idea that faith is a private matter and not to be shared with others.

Isn’t it more likely that we are all part of a diverse creation that flows from a God that cannot be contained by any one belief or behavior? LIE 5 - There is One Right Way to Believe and One Right Way to Behave - One of the root lies of fundamentalism-in all faiths-is the notion that true faith is defined by believing the right things and acting the right way. Rather than settling for a god who needs our protection, we can follow the powerfully divine thread of moving “beyond the tribe” that is found throughout the Bible. LIE 4 - I Am Supposed to Protect and Defend God and My Faith - There are real tensions and conflicts around the globe today that are built on the notion that as people of faith, one of our jobs is to defend our faith or our God. Moreover, when we string together what we actually have-disparate statements about satan made by different people, from different places, languages, cultures, and times-we arrive at the strange notion that there is a “good” god who is responsible for the “good” things in our lives and a “bad” god (satan) who handles the “bad” stuff. LIE 3 - The Devil is God’s Counterpart - This is the bad idea that the Bible presents a continuous, consistent narrative about the devil. Understanding God as a loving parent not only requires a reframing of our perception of God but also invites us to see each other and ourselves as beloved children. LIE 2 - God is Angry and Doesn’t Like Me-Especially When I Sin - Instead of perceiving God as a loving parent, many of us understand God as a cosmic scorekeeper, intent on our purification. Rather, it is a divinely inspired story of progression that should open things up rather than constrict and regulate. The Bible is not God’s Bill of Rights and Constitution.

People were the medium-they did the storytelling, the writing, the selecting, and the interpretation that resulted in the Bible. God was most certainly the inspiration for the Bible, but not the medium. LIE 1 - The Bible is the Literal Word of God - The Bible is not the written record of God’s dictation.
