Must be loving, forgiving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and have a sense of humor. Must be a team player – no prima donnas. Must be here-and-now rather than hereafter oriented, and should be a firm yet gentle guide to daily peace, acceptance, and serenity regardless of circumstances. Must be willing to work irregular hours and weekends as required.
No taboos, please, but rituals, pilgrimages, occasional fasting or other observances and devotions are negotiable. Must not require inordinate blood or other sacrifices, self-mutilation of any kind, self-flagellation or other forms of penance, affectation of speech or gesture, or the wearing of special clothing or talismans.
No homophobes, misogynists, bigots, racists, prudes, ethnocentrists, eschatologists, status quo apologists, nihilists, paternalists, fire-and-brimstoners, evil or “Satanicky” deities need apply.
Interested applicants should interview/audition in person or as an avatar via spiritual vision or dream, moment of clarity, sudden inspiration, serendipitous coincidence, or other form of visitation. No appointment necessary. Offer void where prohibited.

ReplyDeleteSound good. A link would be good. I've heard of a website called "Common [something]" that handles web copyrights -- have you heard of that? I gather that it can generate some kind of a tag that can be added to a page like this.
ReplyDeleteI think I found it. It's http://creativecommons.org/

ReplyDeleteThat is cool! What do you think about the arguments of http://softwareliberationfront.org/?
ReplyDeleteHas the FSF become overweening? They say it has been suing legit open source projects that don't have the resources to maintain complete compliance with the GPL.
I was unaware of the SLF; thanks for bringing it to my attention. I read the Thomas Jefferson link, too. There were some lines in there that also appear in some Wesleyan hymns we used to sing. It reminds me of the Japanese saying, 見ても減らない。[even if you let me look, what you have does not decrease].
