Well, it mentions Christ 4 times ...

> so little empathy that you can't possibly image someone adopting The Rule of St. Benedict in good faith I think it's more that the wording suggests the author pushing his own faith onto others.
That's what every CoC does.
Interesting to see so many people defending this, either on the basis of “it’s satire” or “it says you don’t have to follow every single rule.” Would you be saying the same thing if it said “Allah” instead of “God”? What if it said you had to love Osama bin Laden? What if rule 1 was “love white people”? Religious discrimination is poor fodder for satire and is not something we should just selectively ignore. Edit: wo…
I, for one, appreciate this whole thing.
If I were required to love Osama bin Laden, well, my Lord Himself requires us to 'love our enemies', and 'pray for those who persecute you'.
There is no religious discrimination here. It appears that some seem to believe that if religion is mentioned, that is discrimination. But that word does not mean that.

> Respect your seniors How about just "respect people". I've literally seen how "respect your seniors" plays out in reality: any idea from new/junior team members is effectively ignored, because they're not 'senior' enough.
Seriously? The next point is “love your juniors” so what you are saying shouldn’t happen. But then again... I think loving your juniors usually ends up with HR.
An interesting mirroring of the popular CoCs these days. While they enshrine what one could call "San Francisco Democrat" values, this CoC enshrines christian conservative values. If you think value-based CoCs are fine, you shouldn't have a problem with this.
By "San Francisco Democrat" do you mean "gay people exist and are fine"? Or "women are an equal part of society"? I'm having trouble unraveling your dogwhistle here.

As an atheist, how could this possibly make someone mad?
Because if you take it as a satirization of the adoption of CoC's, it's saying "we don't think CoC's address real problems and we'll do it with a general set of ideals that do nothing to solve problems". Which ignores the very real problem of harassment in tech.

The overarching spirit of the rule is worship of a particular deity. “First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength.”
