@rmcrob I actually really like Hipp as well, and have actually quoted him multiple times in the past in blog posts, presentations, etc. This isn't one of those places that I'll quote him in a positive way going forward :)
Let's try this angle: I expect that your surface-level admiration of his approach may be in part driven by your own faith. It makes you feel included. How nice, a code of conduct that is based upon your personal belief system! If, on the other hand, you were, say, a Muslim who was concerned about being included in a community because of your faith, a CoC that is openly based upon the Christian faith would alienate you, and perhaps cause you to depart or not engage with the community. Similarly, if you were gay or lesbian, the open anti-LGBT advocacy of certain brances of the Christian church may drive you away from the community.
There are literally dozens of great, templated, well-considered models for open source community codes of conduct that are specifically crafted to avoid these issues. Instead, Hipp has decided to invent his own, in a very tongue-in-cheek way, that clearly is problematic.
I don't think there is any ill-intent from Hipp, who otherwise seems a reasonable person. Its just a shame that he hasn't consulted with any experts, or learned from prior art to ensure that he doesn't alienate or drive away parts of the community.
