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.
