Great! I can't wait for another project adopting an Islamic CoC (not to be enforced!), and read the comments.

The ultimate CoC to put an end to this silly practice.

I don't think it will put an end to this as many people are simply too afraid to refuse (heck, even Linus gave in!), but if other projects react in a similar way, it will be a breath of fresh air and make it more difficult to enforce SoC for all open source projects.

First, I never knew SQLLite was quite so religious, Second 69. Love your juniors. Really? Won't HR get involved?

Well you also shall not commit adultery so marry them first.

How immature. If you disagree with having a code of conduct, then not having one seems preferable to making it an insult to those asking for one.

Didn't we all encounter bosses who would call endless meetings and who would laugh at points that they could not understand? This one is important, even if the fellow from the Name of the Rose had a strange take on it.

Upvoted for the reference. If only we had a copy of the Second Book of Poetics...

Ugh, wall of text. Can I get a tl;dr?

tl;dr is "Do not do to another what you would not have done to yourself.".

"Don't be a dick", in modern parlance.

I don't understand the purpose of this. I hope it's an elaborate joke, but it is surprisingly unprofessional. A few years ago I spent some time in their dev mailing list and proposed a patch. I doubt I'd still do this in this context. This code of conduct that requires members to honor th Christ, even as a joke, would make me reluctant to interact with SQLite.

Poe's Law in action.

Ha. Needs some tweaks here and there but it’s a good start!

I think it needs to be more specific, which God? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deities_by_classificat...

Well, a Christ is mentioned in 4 different rules. I feel like it's probably jesus

Be not a grumbler

Edit: in all seriousness (in accordance with The Rule), I think open mockery from a serious project is extrodinarily important

> This code of conduct that requires members to honor Christ Does it? It says that it requires developers to conduct themselves in a manner that honors the overarching spirit of the rule.

Well, it mentions Christ 4 times ...
