> 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.
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.”
Only if you are looking for it. I imagine most adults can translate through time and culture without much issue. Literalists tend to be evangelical christians, who probably wouldn’t mind.
It hammers you on the head with it at the very beginning. There’s no need to “look for it,” it’s right there.
It strikes me as really weird that’s all you can see, especially as a grown adult, but to each their own.
It’s not all I can see. It’s all I’m commenting on, because the rest is unremarkable.
Well, it mentions Christ 4 times ...
Other CoCs mention other idealizations lots of times.
Sure. My comment was in reply to a comment which said that this:
> This code of conduct that requires members to honor Christ
was not true.
Yes, but when did professionalism become a requirement for open source software?

When people started having both standards and options. I can choose between a college frathouse and a productive guild hall: why would I live in a frathouse?
Indeed. Choose away. Of course in the end you choose the one with functioning plumbing.

It was a disqualification once upon a time, or at least a severe black mark to atone for.

About the point where a third developer joined a project.
One person can slag himself all day long and it's just crazy muttering.
Two people can slag each other all day long and it's he said/she said or some combination thereof.
Three people ... dammit, there's a witness.
Poe's Law in action.

requires members to honor the Christ
The text does not permit this interpretation.
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.
