Starting programming

Is it a good idea to start programming with LISP through SICP? I've always heard mixed opinions: some say math and books aren't really important to programming and you should just get to the point (a language you want to learn) and some say you should be good at it and focus on learning math as well.

I gave seriously replies (>>2,3) and the rest of this thread is just neckbeards arguing about Lisp and dumb shit that isn't hireable these days. OP, just look at >>2,3 and ignore the other garbage in this thread.
