> 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.
