The part I like is where they state, as their official position, that they are OK with people not wanting anything to do with this. As you said, tolerance, live and let live.
I also recognize I am able to exist as an atheist in a Christian nation precisely because of tolerance and mutual respect, with emphasis on "mutual". There are parts of the world where being atheist, LGBT, or <insert group membership here> can easily get you killed.
And then there's the fact that any decent person would agree with quite a few of the items on their list. Here are 46 I think might qualify:
Then, love your neighbor as yourself.
Do not murder.
Do not commit adultery.
Do not steal.
Do not covet.
Do not bear false witness.
Honor all people.
Do not do to another what you would not have done to yourself.
Do not become attached to pleasures.
Love fasting.
Relieve the poor.
Clothe the naked.
Visit the sick.
Bury the dead.
Be a help in times of trouble.
Console the sorrowing.
Be a stranger to the world's ways.
Do not give way to anger.
Do not nurse a grudge.
Do not entertain deceit in your heart.
Do not give a false peace.
Do not forsake charity.
Utter only truth from heart and mouth.
Do not return evil for evil.
Do no wrong to anyone, and bear patiently wrongs done to yourself.
Love your enemies.
Do not curse those who curse you, but rather bless them.
Bear persecution for justice's sake.
Be not proud.
Be not addicted to wine.
Be not a great eater.
Be not drowsy.
Be not lazy.
Be not a grumbler.
Be not a detractor.
Recognize always that evil is your own doing, and to impute it to yourself.
Keep death daily before your eyes.
Keep constant guard over the actions of your life.
Guard your tongue against evil and depraved speech.
Hate no one.
Be not jealous, nor harbor envy.
Do not love quarreling.
Shun arrogance.
Respect your seniors.
Love your juniors.
Make peace with your adversary before the sun sets.
Nothing wrong with aspiring to be this person, even if people could succeed at a portion of this the world would be a better place.
- AstralStorm 4y agoThe set is undefined and contradictory. Even single statements here can be interpreted in a variety of ways. I suspect this code of conduct would not hold in a court of law, because it has effects not related to this particular piece of software. Additionally, it is already contradicting SQLite's safety culture. The safety regulation requires being conservative in code acceptance - you do not "let live" here or it can cause deaths.
