I think it's more that the wording suggests the author pushing his own faith onto others.
- jymbo 8y agoThat's what every CoC does.
- stephenr 8y agoI've never heard of a CoC demanding belief in a specific deity before.
- legostormtroopr 8y agoMost Codes of Conduct prescribe to ideas of patriarchy or intersectionality - if you don't believe in these, then you are generally reeducated or expelled. I have seen equal evidence for the existence of a God as I have the existence of a Patriarchy.
- rleigh 8y agoIf you don't believe in (or criticise) the faith of Intersectionality, then you are subject to persecution and expulsion. There's a very disturbing parallel with the beliefs and aims of militant SJWs and the some of the worst aspects of religious intolerance. CoCs such as the "contributor covenant" are a way of enforcing these beliefs as some kind of religious document, in effect. This makes the SQLite CoC a humourous parody of this type of CoC, being an actual religious document; this is one reason for the "outrage": religion doesn't like fun being poked at it.
- Redoubts 8y agoWho are those others, precisely? Suppose the authors fancied themselves a modern monastic order, is this necessarily bad?
- josefx 8y agoI think he can't possibly do that as SQLite doesn't accept contributions. There are literally zero people impacted by this CoC that weren't in on it from the beginning.
