Religious doctrine has no place or purpose in the universe of software documentation.

  Such as the religious doctrine that you have just stated?
  - krapp 8y ago
    What religious doctrine? I never mentioned any God or the doctrine of any religion. But, let me do so... "to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven." Software documentation is not the appropriate venue for Christian theology just as a church pulpit wouldn't be the appropriate venue for reading aloud the GPL license.

      You have no right to take away my right to put what ever I darn well feel like in MY documentation. And since when does "church" have to be separate to anything else? Just out of spite, I think if I ever give a sermon, I'll mix in a little bit of GPL comparisons just because.

        >You have no right to take away my right to put what ever I darn well feel like in MY documentation. I never claimed any such right, just that purpose and context exist, and that not everything is appropriate for every situation. You have the right to put whatever nonsense you like into your documentation, but that doesn't make it good documentation. You can add song lyrics to a contract if you want to, but doing so doesn't serve the purpose of a contract. >And since when does "church" have to be separate to anything else? Since the Enlightenment, when people began to realize theocracy does more harm than good in the legal, scholarly and scientific realms. >Just out of spite, I think if I ever give a sermon, I'll mix in a little bit of GPL comparisons just because. You can recite GPL comparisons at the pulpit if you like, but "spite just because" is a terrible basis for a sermon. Again, no one is claiming you can't, just that you shouldn't.

And a friendly reminder that people have known how to conduct themselves in a civil manner for at least 1400 years.

  That depends on what you call "civil manner". A lot of what is listed there is just puritan dogma that seems completely orthogonal to what I would consider civil/uncivil manners. They're just personal choices (as long as you don't try to impose them to others, then they would become a real problem, and it's kind of the case in my opinion when it becomes the code of conduct of a free software project).

    Surely it was not puritan dogma.

    I daresay the new CoC will not stand the test of time nearly as well.
