It does. I did not claim at any point that I was posting the whole contract - I merely posted a brief explanation and its commandments. > If it were in fact a contract, it would have become public the moment > you published its text and membership while it contained that > commandment. As stated previously, I did not publish its text and membership, merely an excerpt (specifically, the commandments). > Didn't you just state that there were only two commandments? > Apparently now there are three. No, that is not a commandment, merely a part of the religion. To quote my previous message: "My religion is in fact a private contract which is a pledge, and has those commandments as part of it." > Agora doesn't have the principles of freedom of religion and > separation of church and state.

I believe it is unreasonable to expect someone to disobey their religion for Agora even if it does breach the rules. I am sure, as a reasonable person, that you will agree. Also, I believe this behaviour breaks Rule 101 - see the CFJ I initiated against Wooble (http://www.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2008-May/010501.html). ehird
