Re: Some corrections on your book of Revelations.
Hi Marian,
Please reply to all.
please explain the motivation for sending that 43kB tirade, arguing against the
points on debian's site and not too well.
While you say Linux is a religion, so are Windows and Apple and the BSDs and
many programming languages and many other techs. Atheism can be a religion as
well (see https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/470900496187011072 ), and I read
that Science is a source of external authority, similar to religion.
That put aside many movements that have religion-like devotees have cultural or
technological utility and should not be dismissed or avoided just because of
that: https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=two-kinds-of-fools
.
Anyway, no one forces you to use debian and I use several distributions here,
whether they are or are not religions. By choice.
Regards,
Shlomi
