i'd like to second that. robert, the problem is that we are unfamiliar with the terminology you are using. comparing pharo to religious concepts can be interesting, but to make such a comparison, it would be necessary to explain why such a comparison is relevant and what pharo users can gain from it. and explain what each of the concepts are, in plain words. > > I don't seem to have a problem nor am I breaking any "rules" I am aware of you are breaking the rule of missing or loosing your audience. > Interesting that you take such an adversarial position to a polite > request. Religion is divisive and any particular doctrine can > alienate community members of some other doctrine religion should not be divisive. if religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred, division, it is better to be without it[1]. my personal corollary: if talking about religion leads to dislike, then i stop talking about it. greetings, martin.
